Simplest approach
Choose the South Australian Maritime Museum and a Port Adelaide heritage outing for a contained plan. Central Adelaide is the main alternative with its own transport and city route; avoid adding both areas without a coordinated return schedule.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Confirm accessible transport from the passenger terminal and museum facilities. The city and Port Adelaide museum area require separate vehicle or transit planning.
Weather
Wind and rain can make waterfront stops less comfortable. Use the museum or a shorter local route when conditions deteriorate, and check any boat or road operation before departure.
