1. Victor Harbor Tramway
Location: Esplanade, Victor Harbor, SA
An iconic activity in the Victor Harbor region, the Victor Harbor Tramway has been ferrying people by horse drawn tram carriage to and from Granite Island since 1894.
Combining transport and excitement, this is a great adventure for all ages to enjoy, especially the young ones.
The tram makes the journey across multiple times a day every day of the year, so no matter when you visit you’re sure to have the chance to jump on board.
The journey across to the island is on a 630-metre long boardwalk that you can also walk across if you don’t want to catch the tram.
"This is the only horse-drawn tramway in Australia in operation with an estimated 2 million passengers since 1986. Clydesdale horses steer the tram across the causeway from the Esplanade to Granite Island with picturesque views during the scenic ride.
With the same double-decker design that was first built all those years ago, this is a historic activity to enjoy in Victor Harbor and an incredible scenic one as it journeys over to the beautiful Granite Island.
