As the chill sets in, your clients are already seeking ways to stay cosy this winter in new and memorable ways. Viva Holidays and the South Australian Tourism Commission have joined forces to present you with a selection of packages for a winter stay in South Australia. Plus, you could win a cosy winter famil!

You already know South Australia is a place of hidden gems, unexpected curiosities, and unspoiled vistas. It’s a destination well known for its ‘world-firsts’ and ‘only-ins’.

In winter, South Australia has plenty of ways to allow your clients to soak up the sights in the cosiest way possible. Think thick blankets as they watch Australia’s darkest night sky. Or hearty walks through the country’s only national park city or outback ranges millions of years in the making.

There’s also the world’s best wine (especially when sipped in a giant Rubik’s cube), the world’s first shark cage diving experience (in a thick wet suit, of course), and swimming with graceful cuttlefish. Plus several awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites and underwater gardens.

Winter in South Australia will keep your clients warm in many memorable ways, especially with Viva Holidays and the South Australia Tourism Commission’s curated winter tours.
