No doubt at all about this being a wonderful activity/outing to go on. One of the "must do" things in this lovely area. We had a perfect day and rode the tramway one way, walking back the other so we could take some stunning photos. They have a ramp so prams and wheelchairs can access.

Loved the horses and yes, they look well cared for and are enjoying themselves, even though it looks like sometimes there is a heavy load, but you have to remember these are work horses for ploughing hard fields etc and it's their nature. The children were fascinated by all the reins, tack etc necessary to control all this rig.

The trams themselves are beautifully kept and preserved.

All the passengers were chatting and having a great time, looking around at this beautiful area and its scenery.

I was also able to buy a Tshirt with the horse tramway on it as a great souvenir of our ride. A must for tourists and locals alike.

Trams run everyday except Christmas Day. Trams run hourly from the Mainland 10.30 - 3:30pm and from the Island 11.00 - 4pm.

Approximate cost: $22 family

This horse tram is a South Australian icon as well as a Victor Harbor one. It is one of the last horse trams operating in the world and is a marvelleous experience. Seating is available inside and also upstairs in the open air. The tram goes across the causeway to Granite Island that is part of the National Park system. If you are lucky you may see penguins. There is cafe/restaurant on the island and walks around the island too. It is great not to need to walk both ways across the causeway after seeing the natural sites. The horses are well looked after and rotated regularly and they seem to enjoy the task

Always a pleasant ride, the horses are very well trained. I encourage everyone to try this at least once so we never loose this iconic form of travel. The children always like to ride on it and its such a good way to teach them about horses and carts.

This iconic horse tram has been in Victor Harbor for a long as I can remember (and that's a long time) The horses know what to do and seem to enjoy doing it.

These days I like to walk one way across the causeway and ride the other way. It is a tradition to go to the island every time we visit Victor. I think it is loved by the locals and South Australia very much and also enjoyed by our very welcome visitors to Victor Harbor.

On a recent trip to SA with my husband we went on the tramway and found to be a great experience and enjoyed it.

Price was very reasonable and will definitely consider this experience again on our next trip to South Aust

Yes, I too have been on this Horse Drawn tramway across to Granite Island. It is a must for people to do when they are in Victor Harbour.

A great way to travel.

A must if your in adelaide. A great way to get to Granite Island if you dont want to walk from Victor Harbour especially for the olderly. Its a great experience at a reasonable cost normally we walk over as a family and then ride back.

Approximate cost: $6 adult one way Ot $8 both way. $4 child one way both way $6

Riding on this tram is a fantastic experience. The beautiful, gentle-giant Clydesdale horses that slowly pull the carriage along the rail line across the jetty to Granite Island are just mesmerising to watch. You feel like you're in a long-past era.
We like to walk over and then ride back. This costs $6 per adult & $4 per child, or you can ride both ways for $8 & $6.
Also a great way for older folk or people who have difficulty walking, to experience the island.

The Victor Harbour Tramway horse drawn tram connects Victor Harbour to Granite Island. While you can walk the causeway, hopping on the horse drawn tram is a fun and relaxing alternative!
