Adelaide Airport to Victor Harbor Saturday Morning

dasher86 on 05/08/2019 - 22:14

TL;DR - what is the best value option of getting to Victor Harbor on a Saturday morning?

We are flying to Adelaide on a Saturday morning and need to get to Victor Harbor for a family function.
We have ~3-4 hours to be able to get there.

I'm finding it difficult to find any public transport information to get there except for a bus departing from Seaford.

Shuttles are around ~$160, and so is hiring a car one way (we are getting a lift back to Melbourne).

Can anyone provide any information or guidance?

Thanks
D.

    There isn't really public transport in Adelaide.

    From a quick google looks like there is a bus http://linksa.com.au/documents/timetables/25-2-2018/TT-Route… might not be any cheaper and you'd need to get into the CBD.

    I'd just take the shuttle frankly.

      Thanks for the reply, that's the route I'm currently looking at.
      It's a pain to get to Seaford from Ade Airport.

        Yeah I wouldn't bother. Just take a taxi or uber. Have both you and your travelling companions used uber? I'm sure there are still referal bonuses/first ride discounts?

      "There isn't really public transport in Adelaide."

      Bit of a broad statement! I assume you mean inter-city public transport from Adelaide to Victor Harbor?

    Uber website fair estimate says
    UberX is A$97-129

      Thanks for the reply.
      Really considering just flying there and back now, and just hiring a car for a day.

        Hi from Adelaide,

        What you can do, depending on your Flight Arrival time on Adelaide time is…

        https://tinyurl.com/y4o674ln

        That gets you from Adelaide Airport leaving 7.38am
        https://adelaidemetro.com.au/stops/view/17327 to arrive Seaford Railway Station 9.20am via Glenelg and Oaklands Park Railway Station.

        Then get the 1252 Link Bus as per http://linksa.com.au/documents/timetables/25-2-2018/TT-Route… at 9.57am and you are at Victor Harbor at 10.42am.

        So, to sum up:
        Bus J1/300M/Seaford Train/1251 Link Bus.

        :+)

        What flight are you doing MEL/ADL?
        If you are QF671, this would work.

          Thanks for that.
          Really the same thing I was looking at as well, just an early start and no alts if we miss a leg.

            @dasher86: You should only need to take 1 bus and 1 train to reach Seaford, about 1.5 hr: https://imgur.com/HQDNxwI

            If you miss the bus to Victor, at least you're only 45 minutes away to get an Uber or ask someone to pick you up.

        Presumably you've asked around the family for a ride?

        Uber sounds like a bargain! If you can lock in the price.
        But I'd hire a car…
        It's a 1 hour drive from the airport and Victor is a large town spread thinly along the coastline. You don't want to be getting off a bus in the middle of town only to find that your event is on the outskirts a few Km away!

          Most family are leaving Melbourne Friday morning, when we have to work…
          It's a bit of an ask asking them to come get us from Adelaide Airport after the long they drive they had the previous day.
