Start your Victor Harbor adventure along the iconic Encounter Bikeway or the walking trail to Rosetta Head (The Bluff). This stretch of coastline delivers some of the region’s most dramatic ocean views and sets the tone for the days ahead.
Mid-morning, take adventure to the edge with Off The Bluff Abseiling, operated by Surf & Sun. Descending the granite face of Rosetta Head (otherwise known as The Bluff), with the Southern Ocean below, is one of the most unique outdoor experiences in Victor Harbor. It’s wild, controlled and deeply rewarding. This activity can only be done with a booking through Surf & Sun.
Spend the afternoon exploring Granite Island, following the loop trail and soaking up uninterrupted coastal views before returning to the foreshore for a relaxed evening by the sea.
Day two shifts inland, revealing a different side of the Fleurieu Peninsula’s outdoor adventure offering. Travel towards Waitpinga, where rolling hills and wide-open landscapes replace the coastline.
The highlight is Waitpinga Farm Quad Bike Adventures, an energetic and fun way to explore 400 acres of farming country with views of the ocean, local farm animals and possible sightings of native animals. Riding across paddocks and purpose-built tracks, this adventure combines freedom, adventure and spectacular views back towards the coast.
After your ride, head to Waitpinga or Parsons Beach – wild, untamed beaches known for their powerful surf and natural beauty. These are places to explore, walk and observe, letting the scale of the Southern Ocean speak for itself.
The final day of your Call of the Wild itinerary is all about the water. Take a moment to explore the beachside town in a Kayak or SUP, paddling along the rugged coastline where granite cliffs, sheltered coves and marine life define the journey. Choose Encounter Bay or Encounter Lakes for a little calmer waters.
From this view, the coast takes on a completely different perspective. Dolphins and seals are regularly spotted along this stretch of water.
For something a little faster pace, explore the wild South Coast with The Big Duck Tours. With a number of tours on offer, this is one experience the whole family will love.
Finish your adventure back in town with time to refuel, reflect and take in one last coastal viewpoint – a fitting close to three days shaped by nature, movement and discovery.
This Victor Harbor adventure itinerary brings together the region’s most compelling outdoor experiences, from abseiling and quad biking to sea kayaking and coastal exploration.
Three days. One wild destination.
