Morning or midday airport pickup in Adelaide. With a Chinese-speaking guide, begin the city tour on North Terrace, including the University of Adelaide, South Australia Museum, South Australia Art Gallery, South Australia Library, and Parliament House. Then walk through Rundle Mall and along King William Street to Victoria Square, Chinatown, and the Southern Hemisphere's largest Central Market. Return to the hotel and check in.

Choose a Chinese- or English-language tour for Kangaroo Island. Depart early from Adelaide city hotels or designated pickup points, travel along the Fleurieu Peninsula coast to Cape Jervis, and take the ferry to Kangaroo Island. The English-language group visits Seal Bay Conservation Park and joins the Close-Up Seal Tour to learn about seal habits. If the Chinese-language Kangaroo Island group is selected, a AUD 50 per person supplement applies, the group requires 4 people to operate, lunch is self-arranged or can be purchased as a buffet, and the group watches seals from the viewing platform and walks along the boardwalk. After lunch, which is included for the English-language group, continue through Flinders Chase National Park to see Remarkable Rocks, Admiral's Arch, and the New Zealand sea lion habitat. Dinner is self-arranged; simple western meals are available at the port. Return by ferry and coach to Adelaide hotels or designated downtown drop-off around 22:00. Duration about 16 hours.

Head first to Cave Beach, known for shipwreck remains, caves with clear water, golden cliffs, and white sand. Then visit Victor Harbor, a famous 19th-century whaling port. Walk along the causeway or take Australia's only remaining traditional horse-drawn tram to Granite Island to look for wild dolphins and explore the island. If time allows, an optional Big Duck cruise. Lunch is self-arranged. Afterwards visit the scenic McLaren Vale region, see the d'Arenberg Cube floating above the vineyards, and optionally go up to the Cube for wine tasting.

Head to the famous Barossa Valley wine region. Visit a century-old castle winery, stop at Menglers Hill Lookout for panoramic views over the valley, and visit the modern Jacob's Creek visitor center, where wine tasting is available at your own expense and there is free time around the estate.
