Travel to the oceanfront Victor Harbour, a popular destination with beaches, watersports, wildlife and coastal scenery. Spot whales from land or sea, learn about the town's whaling history and hike around a rocky island. Victor Harbour is small enough to walk around, with many attractions close to each other. Head toward the town's shoreline for the Warland Reserve, home to the South Australian Whale Centre. Inside, three floors of exhibits and artefacts cover the natural history of whales and the area’s whaling past. After your tour, enjoy a picnic or barbecue in the reserve and walk to the Soldiers' Memorial Garden with its rows of Norfolk Island pine trees. Nearby is a short wooden causeway that connects to Granite Island. Walk across it or ride the horse-drawn tram, a service that has been in operation since 1894\. On the island, amble along the loop trail encircling the small rocky outcrop and see the colony of little penguins, also known as fairy penguins. For whales, dolphins and other wildlife, embark on a boat tour of the coastline and offshore islands. Find good land-based whale-watching from the town, especially between June and October when southern right whales visit local waters. Take advantage of the town's seaside setting with relaxation on a beach. Swim at Yilki Beach and try surfing and surf fishing at Waitpinga Beach and Parson's Beach. Kayak or canoe around the reefs and islands of Encounter Bay and zip across the water on a Jet Ski. Explore Victor Harbour's beautiful surroundings on long coastal walks. Hike or cycle along the Encounter Bikeway. This on-road and off-road route stretches along the coast for about 19 miles (30 kilometres). At night, dine out in local restaurants, which include casual and fine dining options. Victor Harbour is about a 1-hour drive south of Adelaide. Alternatively, travel by bus or coach and get around on bike, foot, taxi or rental car. Stay for the wildlife, beaches and coastal scenery. - Top hotels in Victor Harbor - Top Holiday Rentals in Victor Harbor ![Nightcap at Hotel Victor](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/7000000/6230000/6228400/6228354/4dd87f6d_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Nightcap at Hotel Victor 1 Albert Place Victor Harbor SA £84 21 Dec - 22 Dec includes taxes & fees Stay at this beach hotel in Victor Harbor.
