Incredible experience - Our original cruise we were booked on had to return to Glenelg as the weather had taken a turn and the winds were too strong, disappointing but everyone was offered full refund or the chance to rebook. We rebooked and I’m so glad we did as the weather 2nd time round was absolutely perfect. An incredible experience and we were lucky enough to be in the water with 3 different pods. Crew were friendly and helpful ! A must do if visiting Adelaide!

Fantastic - Swimming with the dolphins was just amazing. The staff on board were very friendly and very accommodating making everyone feel comfortable. Lots of knowledge about dolphins would thoroughly recommend doing this trip with Temptation. 👏🙌 Well done guys.

Amazing wildlife experience - We attended the tour as sightseers and had an absolutely fantastic time. Within thirty minutes of leaving port we had come across what ended up being the first of many pods of dolphins. They were very friendly and enjoyed swimming around the boat. We got to see many calves with their mothers as well! Staff were very friendly and were helpful in providing a blanket as stupid me forgot to bring a jacket. They also came around on our way back to port and answered any questions we had, as well as providing more education about the dolphins we saw. Would definitely do another tour with these guys!

Dolphin Experience - Great experience as a swimmer and my husband enjoyed the views on deck. The crew were determined and patient with persistence for all customers to have 2 great dolphin experiences. We really appreciated their diligence. They were friendly and informative.

Worth the wait - Took a while to find the dolphins but once we did it was a magical experience seeing the dolphins under water and hearing them communicate to each other. Highlight of our trip and well worth doing. Staff very friendly.

Awful experience - We just came to Adelaide for this experience pretty much and they cancelled one day before, we explained we have two days more in Adelaide and ask them to please give us a spot they did not care and say they cannot do anything, very very very disappointed of the lack of care, we booked this with enough time (more than 2 months in advance) and ewe understand is not their fault the weather but we expected a bit more of understand our situation as well, that was a Xmas present.
