Overview

This full-day tour begins with a stop at Mount Lofty Summit, where travelers get 15 minutes to view Adelaide City and the surrounding landscape, weather permitting. The summit was first noted by Mathew Flinders in 1802. The tour continues with a drive past Thorngrove Manor, a baroque-style hotel located near Mount Lofty Botanical Gardens and Belair National Park. Next, the group visits Bridgewater Mill for 15 minutes. This historic mill, built in 1860 by mill engineer John Dunn, features a large waterwheel that is no longer operational but remains on static display. The mill now houses an award-winning winery and restaurant, attracting visitors interested in local culture. After the stops in the Adelaide Hills, passengers board the Captain Proud side paddle wheeler for a 3-hour lunch cruise on the Murray River. The cruise includes a two-course meal and access to a licensed bar where guests may purchase drinks. The vessel offers open observation areas with views of wetlands and river cliffs near Murray Bridge. Following the cruise, the tour includes a one-hour free period in Hahndorf, Australia's oldest surviving German settlement, known for its historic buildings and local hospitality. The bus used during the tour is air-conditioned. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the price. The total duration of the tour is about 8.5 hours and it is operated in small groups of up to 24 passengers.
