You step off the transfer van and feel the temperate Adelaide air shift as the city’s grid opens onto parkland and river light. Over five days this itinerary alternates cultured short walks and coastal wilderness: a morning river cruise on the Torrens, a full day sampling Barossa wines and lookouts, then an early ferry to Kangaroo Island where granite outcrops and wind-sculpted shorelines take over.
