Adelaide dolphin Sanctuary Mangroves Kayaking Tour - Angus was a brilliant guide and tutor. All but one of our group had never kayaked before; however, Angus' instructions were very clear. Unfortunately, we did not see any dolphins, but the mangroves were amazing! The information Angus supplied about the mangroves was fascinating- especially about the sacrificial leaves. I will definitely kayak again! Cheers Susan

Mangroves Kayaking tour - Our team-building experience was fantastic. Despite most of us being unfamiliar with kayaking, it turned out to be easy and enjoyable. Exploring the Mangroves was especially fun! I highly recommend this activity. Our tour guide, although not from this country, was both knowledgeable and fun. The clean, high-quality equipment made gliding on the water a truly pleasant experience.

Superb kayaking amongst the mangroves - We loved our 10am trip amongst the mangroves of the Dolphin Sanctuary. Tom was a wonderful guide and his enthusiasm for the area was obvious. We would definitely recommend this trip to others and come again for another tour.

Fantastic day and experience!! - Loved it and learnt a lot of interesting facts about the area and its wildlife. Our guides were great. Did not see any dolphins unfortunately but enjoyed paddling through the mangroves, which were calm and peaceful, and seeing the shipwrecks. The kayaking was suitable for all ages (kids were in our group) and did not need a high level of fitness to enjoy.

Beautiful experience but also disappointed - I had a great time Kayaking through the mangroves on the 29th September. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Although, our tour guide offered to take some photos of myself and my friend and said he would email them through the next day. I was so thankful! Unfortunately, I have now followed up twice via email over the few past weeks to have these photos sent through with no response yet. Quite disappointed.
