A nice afternoon on the water - A great afternoon. It was nice to have a small group. Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Whilst we did not see any dolphins it was still an enjoyable experience. Would recommend.

Adventure kayaking in the mangroves on the Port River in Adelaide. - The kayak adventure tour on the Port River (Adelaide) and into the Torrens Island mangroves via a navigable creek was a perfect activity to share with my teenage granddaughters and some other participants under the guidance of our friendly and informative tour guide Cain. Very well organised, and a lot of fun for all concerned.

Adventure Kayaking - 6 of us went out for the 90minute tour and we had a great time. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and if anything we would have liked a bit longer.

Great experience! - We had a great time kayaking through the mangroves. We didn’t get to see a dolphin, but it was a great experience and has encouraged us to kayak more in the future! Our guide, Isaac, was great at talking us through how to work together in the kayak, making it quick for us to build confidence once in the water. Thank you Isaac for a fantastic session, and we recommend this to anyone in the area.

Must do/ Must See - This was a BD gift from my nephew and nieces. I really enjoyed it. One of the must sees in Adelaide (SA) .... Buy a gift voucher for ur loved ones to have the same experience as mine.... Just one thing you need to know that the Kayak is too heavy and you need to take it to water yourself so make sure you do not have any injuries...

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

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.
