Great trip - Fiona was fantastic on our tour. The dolphins came out to entertain us. The trip thru the mangroves was interesting. Fiona was full of a wealth of information not only about the dolphins but the mangroves as well.

My highlight of the trip to Adelaide - Lucked out and had great weather, saw dolphins before even getting in the kayak. And more throughout the time on water. Our guide was imaginative and answered all our questions. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to go. Also I would very much love to go again.
I went solo, and was paired in a tandem kayak with another solo traveller. It was super inclusive. There were people of all ages in this tour. Even if no dolphins were seen, there's a beautiful mangrove to kayak through and the water was very serene and calm.
I definitely recommend using the big spray they supply.

Outstanding Experience! - I have done a few kayak nature tours and this was by far the best experience I have had. The location is extraordinarily special. We got to see lots of dolphins but even if we hadn't it would still have been an excellent afternoon. Alex was a wonderful guide, gently nudging us along and orienting us to what we were seeing and providing lots of good background information. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife The equipment was in great condition, between that and the excellent guide, it made for a very easy and enjoyable outing.

Wonderful tour - Alex was a great guide. The kayaks are tandem, which made paddling easier. The water was war and the Sanctuary is lovely. We saw a couple of pods of dolphins. The paddle through the mangroves was peaceful and magical.

Never pass up a chance to see a dolphin. - We had a lovely afternoon with Alex, our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, mangroves and local history, also very friendly and was helpful in getting another lady back to her cruise ship on time.
Would thoroughly recommend this trip, we did see the dolphins together with egrets, pelicans and herons.
Lovely area, enjoyed the experience.
Dry bags are provided so don't worry about things getting wet but then don't take much with you just the usual hat, sunglasses sun cream and camera obviously and wear something you don't mind getting wet & salty.
Enjoy.
