The meals on Granite Island were right up with the best with a beaut Al Fresco settings. It is a long walk over the causeway for the elderly and infirm. The horse tram is a lovely way vto travel across and facilities for this have been upgraded. Once you get out to the Island (no problem for the young the fit and the healthy) thats as far as you go if you are not one of these fortunate people. So you arrive at the tram terminus there is the restaurant with pleasant surrounds but to go the rest of the way around the island one must climb a mighty flight of stairs. The path aroumd the island is not too good either with many places on it that have to be trod with most care. Okay after getting around and seeing some beaut scenery there is a gentle slope back to the causeway. The main attraction was the Fairy Penguins but alas their numbers have drastically decreased. The powers that be are, so its reported, working hard to solve all these problems. The horse tram still operates 7 days a week and is pulled by nice big Shires. I live in Victor Harbor and often walk across to the island.There is a fee for the Horse Tram.
this island is accessible by a causeway and you can also use the horse drawn tram to cross to the island but there is a charge. the walk is about 45mins around the island and there is beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. there is a small colony of fairy penguins, there is a charge to see the penguins and the cafe was also closed at the time we visited
Take the kids and head over, its a fun way to spend a day. Be careful as the cafe on the island has been experiencing issues and you may not have access to it.
We walked on the jetty across to the island and then did the circular path all the way round Granite Island. The man made path is in good condition and takes you past the granite boulders. The boulders are quite big and are interesting to see. There are good views back to the mainland and out to sea as well. The walk is not difficult and can be done with very little effort.
Took the historic horse tram to the island and walked back. A pleasant and easy walk around the island with great views looking back at the coast and a few small islands and reefs out sea. Not a big big swell running the day we visited but waves crashing on to the rocks on the seaward side of the island is spectacular. Cafe on island is closed and appears unlikely it will reopen so take water and or a snack.
Nice walk to and around Granite island, didn't see any wild penguins at all as we didn't do the tour. Great views of the coastline from the elevated sections of the walk along the island though. Would definitely recommend.Note: This walk around the island would be difficult for disabled people in wheelchairs though, as there are many steep inclines and stairs.
在南澳大利亚,维克多港是很值得一去的景观,走出海港,便是花岗岩岛。在花岗岩岛上,你可以找到一个搜救中心,或是一个专门照顾神仙小企鹅的中心。小博物馆馆藏丰富,不过你最好是在喂食的时间去,因为那个时段,饲养员会为你详细企鹅这种动物,它们的身体结构,以及在未来的自然环境下如何搜救和保护它们。出去散步也很乐趣。我们已经试过了。通常,会有一辆小马车将你拉到公路上,但我们去的时候,公路正好在维修。
This is a beautiful place to wander around and take in the amazing scenery. You can sit and ponder life while enjoying the view. Lovely walking trail around the whole island allows easy access and mobility
花岗岩岛很棒,我们在岛上的咖啡馆享用了美味的午餐,我们也很享受在岛上散步,但请确保你穿着舒适的步行鞋。
一次很棒很有趣的环岛游行哦,沿路还有很多不错的历史注释呢。能看到引人注目的南方圆形花岗岩巨石和公海的沿海景色哦。所有的景色都是在海浪以上的安全地带哦。
