Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram
Historical Sites and Heritage Locations
Take a journey on Australia's iconic horse-drawn tramway, one of the few services worldwide that operates all year-round.
Situated 84km away from the heart of Adelaide CBD, these magnificent Clydesdale horses pull the tram along the causeway from the coastal town of Victor Harbor to the stunning Granite Island.
The tram covers the 630-meter causeway, offering trips throughout the day for visitors heading to Granite Island's picturesque landscape. Around 100,000 visitors enjoy the ride annually, with over 2 million passengers having traveled on this historic service since 1986.
Originally launched by the South Australian Railways in 1894, this unique tramway draws visitors from all corners of the globe. Whether it's the nostalgic experience of traveling on heritage transport, crossing the sea to reach the island, exploring the nature walks, spotting marine life, or simply meeting one of the Clydesdales, the tram offers something for everyone.
Once on Granite Island, climb the boardwalk stairs and follow the Kaiki Trail for breathtaking views of Victor Harbor and Encounter Bay from the island's many scenic vantage points.
