Adelaide Dolphin Kayaking Tour

An excellent experience which I would recommend to anyone. Our guide was informative and cheerful which added to the experience. You do need to be reasonably fit to complete the whole tour particularly if the wind is against you as it was on our return journey. We saw several dolphins close up which made it very special. Would recommend this to anyone visiting SA. The addition of somewhere to purchase a coffee or snack whilst waiting would be great.

It was a bit cloudy day but the water in the river was warm and all the staffs were so friendly and helpful. Thanks to them, we could three dolphins at last! That was an amazing experience for my daughters, my friend and me. We also enjoyed the scenery and the course which kayak through amongst the mangrove forest. We could see lots of birds even flying pelicans as well.

Considering the price, this was probably the best value for money trip we have done whilst in Australia. Our trip was moved forward to an early morning start due to the heat, which meant we were finished by 12 and weren’t on the water for the hottest part of the day. These changes to the day were well communicated to us well in advance. The actual experience was really good, we got to see plenty of dolphins up close with one even swimming right under our kayaks. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly (Beth, Luke). We definitely recommend this to anyone, regardless of your kayaking ability.

We really enjoyed this tour, my partner hates water but thought it was awesome. We were able to see a few dolphins before we were even in the kayak and got many photos of them swimming up near our kayaks. The ships graveyard was also really cool and our tour guides Sam and Tyler were really cool guys who gave us lots of information and made the tour that more enjoyable!

It's my first time doing kayak and I could handle it in a short time (not much skills for kayaking actually). The view was brilliant but not much chance to see a dolphin. I could see one or two dolphins for approximately three seconds. Despite that, the tour is nice since the view is really great!!! A relaxing morning (though kayaking is a little tired).

We saw dolphins, one even swam under our kayak! Didn't see dolphins as much as to what I thought we would. Saw some shipwrecks and a mangrove.

Perfect weather greeted us as we arrived at Garden Island. Unsure of exactly what was to follow, we were fitted with life jackets n allocated a kayak. I took my partner as a surprise n we both loved it. We actually saw heaps of dolphins, went for an adventure through mangroves n had a look around a shipwreck. Definitely make sure you put on sunscreen if you go in summer. When it was over we were covered in salt, sunburn n smiles. Had a great time with Sarah, our guide n look forward to doing like this again in the future.

Had a great morning on the Dolphin Kyak Tour. Tout guides were really informative. Would do it again and would recommend. You need no experience either which is great! I went in with none what so ever.

We went on the kayak dolphin and mangrove paddle as a group of 7 friends. There was a choice of double or single kayaks. Although the day was a little breezy we were all able to complete the activity. Dolphins came within a Metre of our kayak and we sat and watched them as we came across them. The guide was informative and friendly and ensured we were all safe and knew what to expect next. A great morning thanks.

I had absolutely amazing time on the dolphin and mangrove kayak adventure. You have the option in going double or single kayaks. The guides were friendly, helpful and informative and took photos when requested. I would recommended this tour for anyone with a short time in Adelaide.

Having the guides was certainly the best way to go and it added to the whole experience. Without them we would have missed out on the history of the shipwrecks. Going through the mangroves was for me the highlight. I would have enjoyed hearing a little more about the mangroves and maybe incorporate how the aborigines used this area. Overall a great experience and I was surprised the next day no aches or pains from so much arm work.

The tour itself was great once it got started. We were asked to be there at 9.30 to start at 10. We didn't end up getting on the water until after 11. Seemed a little disorganised in getting going. Also some of the information given about the shipwrecks was incorrect after looking into for more detail on Google. It's a great foundation though to then be able to know what to do to hire their kayaks and explore on your own.

Great experience highly recommended. Slightly disorganised as the date was changed twice and the pickup location was changed at the last minute which was disappointing as we were using public transport. However a great day!

Bianca was friendly and informative and didn't rush us. We saw a heap of Dolphins and enjoyed the experience.

"This activity went over and beyond our expectations. From friendly staff to an unforgettable experience it was a day of lasting memories. To have the dolphins come right up to our kayak was a once in a lifetime kodak moment! I will recommend this activity to others of all ages visiting Adelaide."
