    I did the hour and half one spend half the time getting ready to go in the water hardly any time in the water. Seen no dolphins and wasn’t worth the half an hour journey from Adelaide central. Instructions not great didn’t give much information and wasn’t helpful or that friendly wouldn’t bother.
