Great way to spend a morning - Most of us has never been kayaking before so was a little nervous but the we soon found our way and the pace was nice and slow and relaxed. Was a great adventure and will most certainly do again!

Dolphins wow! - Paddy was a great guide. He managed the group on the water well and provided great information about the area and the importance of the mangroves. We saw dolphins and waited while they played around us.

Beautiful spot, would go again. - A really lovely way to spend half a day. Guide was friendly and encouraging. No experience required and minimal fitness required. Can't get there on public transport but a cab from Port Adelaide wasn't terribly expensive. Recommend bringing a waterproof phone case on a lanyard because you'll want to photograph everything! Gorgeous spot. Arrive early, bring breakfast or lunch and enjoy the area before your adventure.

Great day out! - Brilliant experience. Saw loads of dolphins. Mark was very knowledgeable. We had a great time kayaking the mangrove creeks and around the ship wrecks for 3 hours, despite the rain!

Worth it🤍 - The staff was friendly and helpful. Kayaking was so much fun. I would suggest to do this activity in pairs. However, even solo I enjoyed it. Did see a lot of dolphins. Highly recommend

Great experience and fun - Our tour guide Hayley was great, we saw dolphins when we first arrived but failed to see dolphins while in the kayaks. The mangroves were lovely and plenty of fish were seen.

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.
