We had a great experience of exploring the ship graveyard & seeing dolphins - It was a great experience. Would be great if they had a book that you could buy with all the ship wreck information as it was alot to take in.

Fantastic way to see the Port! - Was a fantastic and relaxing way to see the Port, and our guide, Chris, was extremely informative and enthusiastic throughout the trip. The best part was putting a captain's hat on my grandchildren and letting them drive the boat. They loved it!!

It It was an enjoyable & interesting tour. - The captain & young crew member conducted an enjoyable & interesting tour of the Port River. They were very knowledgeable about the current state of the river and the ship wrecks’ history. We were also lucky to have a dolphin following our boat for a considerable time which was lovely.

Enjoyable experience in Port Adelaide - Lovely tour of the river and ships graveyard, the boat crew were informative and friendly. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins but we were on the 1pm tour so to be honest it probably wasn't the best time of day to have a chance to see them. We still enjoyed this tour and would recommend this tour organiser
