Mitchell did a wonderful... - Mitchell did a wonderful job explaining the area and we got lucky with a playful dolphin experience. He even pulled in my parents on their kayak because of the strong current and wind. Thank you Mitchell.

Fantastic Experience - We had a fantastic day. It was a small group of 10 people so everybody could enjoy the tour. We saw many dolphins as they swam around the kayaks. The tour through the mangroves was great fun.

One of the best 3 hours of my life! - We were on a flying visit to Adelaide in order to visit family and do some carefully chosen tourist things. We were so glad that we chose to do the Dolphin Sanctuary Kayaking Tour!
We opted for the 3 hour guided tour and our guide (Mitch) was awesome! We saw some wonderful wildlife and had dolphins swimming near us several times 🤗. The route took us deep into the incredible mangroves and the tour culminated it getting up close to some historical shipwrecks - each with an interesting story behind them that our guide expertly articulated.
I thoroughly recommend doing this tour - whether you’re just visiting or a resident who’s just not got round to doing it yet!

A lovely morning on the dolphin kayak tour. - Kayaking with dolphins has been a dream of mine for a long time and the dolphin kayak tour definitely did not disappoint.
Our guide Paddy was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the dolphins but other wildlife in the mangroves and the history of the area itself.
He was constantly on the look out so not only did we see dolphins, but also other marine life on the ocean floor.

An excellent experience, well run and executed - We had a lovely paddle around the sanctuary with a helpful guide who pointed out to us the wildlife we passed. He explained the ecosystem well, and also the boat graveyard’s history. We sa do Lu didn’t see dolphins that day, but it was a memorable and fun activity nonetheless. Thank you all involved.

Amazing experience - We saw lots of beautiful birds and pelicans up close which was a treat. We also saw 2 dolphins and got to see the shipwreck which was also a highlight. The mangrove swamps were fun to kayak I and our instructor did a good job if managing a diverse group

Awesome, though not a winter thing - It was a great tour! Although I wouldn't do it again this time of year. We only saw one dolphin and after we finished, one of the staff members said that they hadn't seen any dolphins in the two days prior. The creeks were gorgeous and the shipwrecks were cool!
