Discover Adelaide City Walk and Popeye River Cruise

About this activity

Discover Adelaide on both land and water. With our 2 hour walking tour and a 45 minute river cruise run by Popeye River Cruises you will make the most of your time in Adelaide. Start with our relaxed, informative, and fun walking tour which provides a great introduction to this captivating city. We will leisurely stroll past the highlights of Central Adelaide and hear compelling narratives of Adelaide's colourful characters, indigenous heritage, and learn why the wall street journal described it as Australia’s coolest city.

Our walking tour will end at the River Torrens where you will then board a stunning heritage boat. Admire the ever-changing landscapes that line the waterways as you float down the beautiful river that snakes through the heart of the city and pass by famed attractions like the Festival Centre, the Entertainment Centre and the SAHMRI. Take the option to disembark nearing the end of the cruise if you choose and see Adelaide Zoo and the Botanic Gardens along the way.
