Overview

It’s not every day that you get to paddle your way down a mangrove creek forest that has been there for over 10,000 years. We kayak up close to shipwrecks, relics of a bygone era (weather/wind permitting) and along the way have the opportunity to spot dolphins. It’s a special experience that simply can’t be replicated, which is why Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak Tours is a must-do!

Our guides are marine biologists who have experience and knowledge of working with marine mammals and wildlife. Participants don’t need any prior kayaking experience, and we travel at a comfortable pace to accommodate reasonable fitness levels.

We hope to see you paddling with us in the Sanctuary soon!

Please note departure times are varied due to tide times and it is essential that you arrive 15 minutes prior to departure time.

You might spot a dolphin but then again you might not

Unfortunately we were drawn in by the name of the tour and wish we had been warned that there was no guarantee you will see any dolphins on the tour. It was a slow paddle around the water and through the mangroves spotting birds and boat wrecks. The guide was great and kept up beat even after not seeing any dolphins. The group was mixed abilities and fitness which meant we didn’t cover as much ground as other groups had. The guide was upbeat throughout even when we hadn’t spotted any dolphins. We felt it was an expensive paddle around water under the pretence of a Dolphin tour which isn’t exactly true.
Relaxing and beautiful!

The kayak tour was great. It was relaxing and the guides told us everything we needed to do and have beforehand! We didn't see any dolphins that day, but it's not a guarantee. We still enjoyed the ship wrecks, and we loved the time we kayaked through the little tree covered river part! It was beautiful and would recommend it for all ages! There are 2 ppl per kayak!
Unique experience

Very unique, with the combination of the kayaking activity with the seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat. Fiona was a great guide and clearly enjoyed what she did. We were lucky enough to see 4 or 5 dolfins, one of them about 10 feet away.
Great dolphins

Really lovely experience. Saw 3 dolphins swimming and foraging. They came close and even swam under our kayaks. Our guide, Hannah, was really knowledge and helpful. Would recommend planning to come around low tide if you’re able, made going through the mangroves a bit more manageable. Overall very lovely way to spend a few hours. Wish there was some transport to and from Port Adelaide though.
