Overview

This three-hour kayak tour explores the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary and the Ships Graveyard Maritime Heritage Trail, located about 30 minutes from Adelaide's central business district. The route follows sheltered creeks lined with mangroves, where participants can see marine life, birds, and wild Port River Dolphins. The Ship's Graveyard features over 20 shipwrecks visible from the water, offering a look at maritime history in the area. The tour operates in small groups of up to eight people and is guided throughout. Kayaking is used as a quiet and environmentally friendly way to approach the dolphins and observe native wildlife closely. All necessary equipment, including kayak, life vest, paddle, and paddling jacket if needed, is provided along with a waterproof container for valuables. The guide shares stories about the local environment and shipwrecks during the trip.
