Prepare for your trip to South Australia

South Australia is a large state with a huge variety of landscapes and climates, so it's important to come prepared. Organising things like travel, accommodation and tours well in advance can ensure you don't miss out on popular South Australian experiences, and making sure you plan for the season you're visiting can also help you avoid disappointment.

We've compiled a range of resources to help you plan the perfect visit to SA, from regional visitor guides to sustainable tour operators. Learn about the best ways to get to South Australia, where to find physical information centres and how to stay safe on our roads and in our regions. 

Remember that anyone driving to South Australia is required to dispose of any fresh fruit they've brought with them. This keeps the state free of fruit fly, which in turn helps support the regions you'll travel to on your visit. Find our all about the restrictions on travelling with fruits and vegetables here.
