Things to see and do Port Adelaide

On this discovery tour, you'll meet the dolphins that call the Port Adelaide River home. There are between 20 and 30 of them, most of whom can be seen early in the morning (6 a.m.!) and in the evening. The route includes 6 spots with information panels. You'll need a car to complete the entire route, which leads to Garden Island, 6 km from the starting point, and then to North Haven, also 6 km away, but on the other side of the river. This means you have to retrace your steps back to the original starting point to continue the trail.

This railroad museum presents more than 100 exhibits and vehicles related to the history of railroads in Australia. It is the largest museum of its kind in Australia. In season, mini steam engine tours are organized on the Semaphore and Forl Glanville Tourist Railway, a 2 km route. Fans of old trains or Agatha Christie will be delighted! The plus: the extremely friendly staff. Many resources are available for download on the website for families and children.

Very attentive staff will provide you with the usual documentation, the very interesting Walk The Port brochure and brochures on the self-guided port walks, old pubs and aboriginal history. You will also find information on the Port River Dolphin Trail, a discovery trail within the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary that allows you to meet the dolphins that call the Port Adelaide River home.
