About this tour
Combine coastal riding, river paddling and wine discovery in a single South Australian day. You'll cover the shoreline on an e-bike, then paddle the Onkaparinga before lunch at a local spot of your choosing. Finish in McLaren Vale with tastings at a working winery. Seven and a half hours of varied activity that builds rather than repeats itself.

- Stand-up paddle boarding on sheltered river waters

- McLaren Vale winery tasting with vineyard context
- All gear provided: boards, wetsuits, bikes
What to expect
The day flows from landscape to landscape without backtracking. Start with an e-bike ride following the coastline—the motor takes strain off hills, letting you focus on scenery. Transition to the river for paddling; the water's calm and the wetsuits handle temperature. You'll break for lunch at a venue you've chosen beforehand, whether a shop-bought sandwich or a restaurant. The final stint takes you inland to McLaren Vale, where a winemaker talks through their current releases and you taste what appeals. No rushing; the pace suits deliberate exploration rather than tick-box tourism.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential—sustained activity across the day, not just moments of effort. Public transport reaches the meeting point. Wine tastings usually charge $15 per person but waive fees if you purchase a bottle. Bring lunch or pre-arrange a restaurant booking; options vary widely in style and price.
