Friendly team - We really appreciated the team letting us join a later trip when we missed our time slot. Really friendly guys with great knowledge of the area and they were great with our toddler. Thanks for the suggestion to visit bays around Port Elliot, we spotted even more dolphins there too 😊

Super happy - Very interesting history of Adelaide and the ships, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The dolphins were amazing to see playing around a tug boat. Great in a small group, was easy to see and took some great photos.

Lovely trip. - We had a lovely trip. Blue skies & smooth waters. We spotted a few dolphins but unfortunately they were shy of the boat. Skipper was really informative.

River, ships and dolphins - Lovely trip on the river. Very interesting to see the old skittles hulks. We went at low tide so the wrecks were well out of the water. The skipper was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of explaining the wrecks. We thought we were going to be unlucky with dolphin stings but the skipper extended the tour by 10 minutes and took us slightly down river. The dolphins put on an amazing display for us, leaping out of the water! It was the icing on the cake of a great trip. Thank you so much.
