On arrival, set off on foot along hiking trails with your guide, and walk to rugged vistas to observe the morning light reflected on rock faces in the national reserve. You'll come upon the grand Morialta Falls and Second Falls. The less-visited and more tranquil Third Falls is nestled at the end of the trail. Take time to listen to the softly cascading water in this peaceful setting along Fourth Creek. It's likely you'll spot koalas amid the diverse wildlife, including the occasional kangaroo or echidna. The creeks, rock pools, and higher slopes of the gorge offer an ideal habitat to several species of frogs and small lizards such as geckos, skinks, and dragons. Listen to the sounds of native birds such as the superb fairy-wren, rare golden whistler, rainbow lorikeet, and laughing kookaburra. See how many species you can discover, and search for delicate orchid species and other wildflowers that are abundant each winter and spring. Finish off with a delicious picnic lunch.

I was a bit nervous about doing this solo but it was a great experience! Chris was a fantastic guide and made the tour very easy and enjoyable
Thank you for leaving us a great review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Chris!
Morialta Wilderness and Wildlife Hike was a nice activity. It provided serenity with beautiful display of nature. Even a red belly gave us a salute, of course from the distance. Thanks Uli for the experience.
Hi marialu.. thanks so much for coming along on our Morialta hike. It certainly is a beautiful environment to get lost in nature for a while! Hope to see you again in Adelaide. All the best, Mike
Certainly, the visit was made much more pleasant and easier under the expert guidance of Shavojn who is so very passionate and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in Adelaide.Mike is also an extraordinary person who made the visit feel very much personalised and warm.Thankful to meet the great people working in pureSA!
Hi Gabriel Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review. We are so thrilled you had such a positive experience and it was a pleasure to have you as a guest on tour with us. We hope that when you next visit Adelaide we will see you again. Thanks Shavojn and Mike
Such a fantastic day! Loved every second! Great for any traveler or local. Fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful staff. A must do in Adelaide! 😄
Hi Kaila Thanks for taking the time to give us a review. We are so happy that you had such a great day! We look forward to welcoming you on some of our other tours in the future. Thanks Shavojn
Guides were very friendly and informative. Plenty of time to walk at a leisurely pace and take in the surroundings. Lovely winery, very picturesque. Saw lots of Koalas and even two kangaroos. The falls were beautiful and there was a nice morning tea stop by a river. It was a very enjoyable trip, especially for those who like bushwalks. Would have loved to go on more trips with them, but we ran of time. If we ever went back to Adelaide we would tour with them again.
Thanks for the awesome review! There is so much wildlife in Morialta Conservation Park and we are so lucky to have it so close to the city. We do hope to see you again next time you decide to visit! Thanks Shavojn.
We took part in a tour of the park in spring (October). During the hike we learned a lot about Australian nature and life in Australia from Shavojn (guide). The trail leads to waterfalls and rock formations. In the forest we saw many different birds and discovered a koala in the treetops. At the end of the hike, "Sinclair's Gully" awaited us, where the owner Sean led us through the bush, showed us rare orchids and explained how they protect and manage the bushland. Of course, we were also allowed to taste its excellent wine! In the end, Mike waited with a delicious BBQ. We had a very nice day and can recommend the tour.
Hi 12Bee Thanks so much for leaving us a review. We are glad you enjoyed your hike with the nature and wildlife in Morialta Conservation Park! The property tour is one of our favourite parts and also the wine as you mentioned! We look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Shavojn
It was a very pleasant tour. We enjoyed the walk very much. Shavojn, our guide, is very knowledgeable and give good commentary along the way. She has good eyes in picking out wildlife and plants on the way. My friend has a little accident and scratched her elbow. Shavojn immediately attended to her and for the rest of the journey kept looking back checking on her make sure she is ok. We are grateful that Shavojn is so professional and caring. We recommend their service to anyone who visits Adelaide.
Hi Bertha Thank you so much it was an absolute pleasure having you and Suin on the hike. I love seeing all the wildlife in the conservation park and glad you enjoyed it too. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Shavojn.
