Top South Australia Ghost Tours

Often considered one of Australia’s most sedate cities, Adelaide has a dark past. Discover its criminals and their victims on this true crime walking tour that reveals the haunts of a bomber, a serial killer, and many more besides. Your storytelling guide brings the city’s dark secrets alive using psychology, history, and more, while the small group size makes it easy to engage and ask questions.

On this tour, you will hear about the local maritime history, which includes the early and successful whaling industry around the Bluff and Granite Island. You will be told stories about the early fishing families and learn how a number of shipwrecks in Encounter Bay persuaded the colony administrators that it would not be a suitable capital city for South Australia. Together with your local guide we will take you for a stroll along the coast and to out-of-the-way places around the streets of Yilki, which is four kilometres from Victor Harbor. The word Yilki is an Aboriginal word meaning place by the sea. You will hear stories of the early European settlers who made their new home in Yilki. And you will see sites of heritage importance, including one of South Australia’s first inns.
