Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak Tour Adelaide
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
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.

5.00Great experience, friendly and informative guide Alex, unfortunately didn't see any dolphins, but it was still a nice place to kayak. Took my 62 and 66 year old mum and dad and both were surprised at how comfortable and easy they found it

5.00Going for a kayak ride at the Dolphin Sanctuary was honestly such a great experience because not only did I get the chance to paddle through calm waters surrounded by mangroves and beautiful scenery, but I also felt completely guided and supported the whole way, with clear instructions and friendly help that made it easy to relax, enjoy the peaceful environment which was super exciting and unforgettable, and by the end of the trip I felt more confident, happy, and grateful for the chance to experience nature so closely and meaningfully.
