The Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram runs the 630-metre causeway between the foreshore and Granite Island, pulled by a pair of Clydesdale draft horses on timber rails. It is one of the last operating horse-drawn trams in the world and has been running in some form since 1894, making it a genuine piece of living transport history rather than a tourist novelty.
The tram runs in both directions throughout the day and the fare is modest. The journey takes about 10 minutes each way. You can also walk the causeway on foot alongside the tram track, which most visitors do at least one way to enjoy the sea views at a slower pace. Early morning is the best time to walk it — the light on the bay is good and the causeway is quiet before the day-trippers arrive from Adelaide.
