With Hindmarsh Island having freshwater on on side and salt water on the other, it provides great spots for fishing. Whether you have you own boat, want to hire one or just want a to go shore or jetty fishing, we can point you in the right direction for locations, bait, and equipment!

Coorong Kayaking Tours

Fairy Penguin Tours on Granite Island

A perfect way to complete a busy day at Narnu is to go on an evening Penguin Tour on Granite Island.

The tours commence at dusk every night where participants are part of a small group and accompany a professionally trained guide to view the penguins as they come ashore after a days fishing. The penguins make their way to their burrows where they can be seen displaying various behaviours, depending on the season.

Or if you want to visit Granite Island by day, then catch the Clydesdale Tram over the causeway, and enjoy your island walking experience!
