Journey Beyond Rail's Adelaide Luxury Stay combines 2 nights aboard the Indian Pacific with a 3-night stay at Sofitel Adelaide in South Australia's food and wine capital. Departing Perth, the train crosses the vast Nullarbor Plain, the world's longest straight railway track, with Off Train Experiences at Kalgoorlie and a guided stargazing session at the remote outback town of Cook. On Day 2, sunrise over the Nullarbor gives way to arrival at Kalgoorlie, where passengers can explore the mining heritage, then reboard for brunch as the train crosses into South Australia. The itinerary concludes with 3 days in Adelaide, including a full-day Small Batch Wine Tour of McLaren Vale visiting boutique, sustainably focused wineries with restaurant lunch, plus a free day to explore Adelaide Central Market or take an optional Barossa Valley tour. All meals aboard the train are included, as is daily breakfast at Sofitel Adelaide. This package suits luxury seekers and food-and-wine travellers who value guided comfort combined with premium accommodation and curated culinary experiences.
