granite island - victor harbour

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。

尽管这里在施工和刮大风,我们还是很享受在岛上漫步。这里比我们之前预想的要大得多。当然,你可以在岛上晃悠几个小时,享受一下周围的美景。

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。

孩子们已经够大了,可以为旅行熬夜了。在网上查了很多之后,我跟他们说了,还有其他知道我们要去南澳大利亚(SA)的人....不走运的是,接听我们电话的员工(预订晚上出行很重要)没有提到现在观赏企鹅能看到的企鹅很少,或者说根本没有,但是旅程开始时,我感觉她应该提前告诉我的。前一天晚上的那一队一只企鹅都没有看见,一直到要轮到我们的这一个星期里,观赏队伍看到的企鹅也就一两只。总共。早早地就喂饱了孩子,花了一个小时才到达那里,而且还拉着父母一起前往的,我只好有苦难言了,付了钱。导游很棒,告诉了我们很多关于企鹅的趣事,还有这个小岛的历史。他懂得很多、思路清晰,很会讲故事。我们最终在一个岩石的后面看到了一只企鹅的头,我想这理论上要算上了:一只。导游告诉我们看企鹅的最佳时间是在繁殖季节,七月到十二月。我可以理解网站上为什么没有放这条重要信息了,因为如果那样,其它月份就不会有人来了。但是代表我们这一个团的30个游客,有些人甚至是国外来的,说实话确实让人失望。我们都去了,付了钱,但是几乎什么也没看到。而且,鉴于在这六个月中,这属于“正常情况”,肯定不只是我们失望了。我认为我有充足的理由相信这样就是为了挣钱。如果我们在繁殖季节再来这一带,我还是会尝试的。我还是忍不住又看了一下网上的信息,感觉太假了。而且对于值夜班的员工可能也不太公平,她被留下来要去迎合客人的期待,游客们都以为这次行程能看到企鹅呢。

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。

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.

Enjoyed the horse driven cart and then the walk across the island. Spectacular scenery and the weather was perfect.

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.

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.

I hadn't been to Granite Island in years, so this was a lovely return and I wasn't disappointed. I'm recovering after a big operation and had lost considerable weight so this was a test for me to walk across the Causeway to the Island, I disscovered, by Googling, that the walk from the tram point to the kiosk was a kilometre long. I did it and was so proud I didn't get puffed out, we didn't do the walk across the around the island as a hip replacement a few years ago wouldn't let me. My experience was lively and don't wait to get back there. We didn't use the team.

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

I haven't yet taken the tram across to the island but it's a nice piece of history that they've maintained. The walk around the island takes about an hour and provides great views over the harbour and out to sea. On a partially cloudy day, you get to see the differences in the colour of the water as you look out over the different sides of the island. The granite rocks on the south-west side of the island are smaller versions of the Remarkable Rocks you find on Kangaroo Island. We've seen lots of birds and a few small lizards on our many walks. When it's windy, it can be tricky to keep your hat on! Unfortunately, the last time we were there (February, 2015) the canteen, gift shop and restaurant on the island were all closed. Not sure if it was just temporary or not. This is one of my favourite walks in this area.

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 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

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.
