coastline surrounding the peninsula is the playground of
various marine species like seals, dolphins and whales
(seasonal).

9. In or on the water
Fleurieu Peninsula has stunning beaches and coastline
perfect for sunset beach walks, swimming, surfing,

surf with Surf & Sun. Surfing in South Australia is indeed
an excellent place where you can enjoy every moment
and create memorable experience.
10. Cycling
Aside from learning to surf in Adelaide, cycling is another
activity that should not be taken for granted. It’s no
wonder the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) based itself
in Adelaide to train elite cyclists as the nearby Fleurieu
Peninsula offers scenic cycle tracks and quiet roads.
Cyclists not up to world-championship level can still hit
the pedals in the region – try the Encounter Bikeway, the
Coast to Vines Rail Trail or ambitious cyclists can conquer
the Kidman Trail.
11. Hiking
Amazing scenery awaits keen hikers on local trails that
cater for different fitness levels. Grab a trail map for the
Deep Creek Conservation Park, the short (but scenic)
Harbourmasters Walking Trail or the Heysen Trail, judged
one of the Top 10 coastal walks in Australia.
12. Aerial adventures
Don’t just discover the Fleurieu Peninsula from the
ground – there are some excellent options to appreciate
the beauty of the region from above.
Book a sky diving trip, perform loops in a biplane or float
over the vineyards in a hot air balloon.
13. Heritage and culture
The history of Fleurieu Peninsula dates back thousands of
years to the Kaurna, Peramangk and Ngarrindjeri
Aboriginal groups.
Visit Camp Coorong, and the Warriparinga Wetlands and
Living Kaurna Cultural Centre for displays and information
about the importance of the region to the Kaurna people.
Fleurieu Peninsula is also significant to European
