Active and refreshing - A wonderful 1/2 day activity out on the water with my teenage kids, the guides Abby and Oliver were very knowledgeable and helpful, making sure we could keep up with the group when we needed some extra paddling power. Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins on the tour but we really enjoyed it anyway, especially the mangroves. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! Amazing experience - I participated in the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary and Ships Graveyard Kayak Tour. The guide was very responsible in explaining the sights and providing information about the history of dolphin conservation. They also showed you stingrays. I were grateful for the guide's thorough explanations. The entire journey lasted 3 hours, giving you a fulfilling kayaking experience in the bay of South Australia. I highly recommend this tour and consider it a must-do experience for anyone visiting Adelaide.

Very fun - Luke and Keegan were great guides! Very fun day out. The weather was unsuitable on the first day we booked due to rain, and they easily slotted us in a different day.

Excellent activity for families. - This was a great experience with the family, it was challenging enough for kids, the guide was excellent and was very knowledgeable about everything we saw there. We were blessed to have excellent weather. The only unfortunate downside, was we were not lucky enough to spot any dolphins.
