Victor Harbour Travel Guide: 66 reviews and 120 photos

A lovely day out in South Australia

Victor Harbour is a great little seaside town south of Adelaide...It is approximately 100kms south of the capital city..and is worth a visit for everyone who visits this great state...On the weekends it becomes alive..with markets, fun fairs and of course the great outdoors...It began as a whaling station. The whales were captured and killed for their oil..After many years the whale population decreased...but now if you visit at the right time...you are nearly always promised the privilege of watching the whales at play....Its absolutely amazing!!!!

Pros and Cons

Pros:So much to see and do!!!
Cons:lots of people
In a nutshell:One of the most beautiful sea side towns I have seen

Last visit to Victor Harbour: Oct 2005

Another sea fan. I can spend all day watching the sea, especially if there's a chance of seeing seals and porpoises. Unfortunately, we don't have penguins!
