Walking Tour of Granite Island

See Granite Island through the eyes of our passionate local tour guides as they share their knowledge of the ongoing penguin conservation, and take you back through the history of Granite Island .

Gran­ite Island Recre­ation Park is locat­ed off the coast of Vic­tor Har­bor, approx­i­mate­ly 100km south of Adelaide. Catch the horse drawn tram or take a short stroll over the causeway that connects the mainland at Victor Harbor to Granite Island Recreation Park, and head east towards the Island Café to meet your tour guide.

Join us for a 1.5hr walk around Granite Island on the Kaiki walking track and discover the stories our guides have to share. (Please note there are some stairs and a basic level of fitness and mobility is needed.)

Gain insight into why Granite Island’s little penguins call Granite Island home. Watch as seabirds such as petrels, shearwaters, and cormorants come and go from the island. Enjoy the coastal scenery and explore the island's interesting history.

Be awed by the spectacular Waitpinga Cliffs and ocean views as you keep watch for dolphins and seals playing in the shallow waters around Granite Island.

From May through to October, Granite Island provides protection for nursing Southern Right Whale mothers and calves.

Witness the mighty Southern Ocean as she moulds the enormous prehistoric boulders tinged with orange lichen that make the island so unique.
