The kayak trip was very enjoyable and it was a pleasure to see a pod of dolphins, including a calf. The mangroves and ship graveyard was also very interesting and the tour guides gave good explanations throughout the tour. I would enjoy doing this again

It was a family fun activity to do, and the staff were great, we definitely would do this again. We saw dolphins quite close up.

Tom and Ella were our guides. Very good introduction and safety briefing. Took to the water and saw the dolphins and shipwreck whilst canoeing down the river on a beautiful sunny day. Unfortunately hubby and I capsized but Tom and Ella responded very well. Thanks to rest of group who waited whilst we got back in the canoe before finishing the trip. Would recommend Adventure Kayaking SA.

This tour was fantastic!! Tom was our guide and he helped us all navigate some tricky mangrove areas, had heaps of interesting facts about the dolphins, mangroves and ship wreaks and ensured we were sunscreened and our phones tupperwared! This area is an oasis just outside of Port Adelaide, filled with bird life, dolphins and fish, all in crystal clear water. Definitely make this part of your next Adelaide adventure.

We had a lovely cool day to paddle and were lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins even before we got in the kayaks. It was an easy trip and our guides Chelsea & Aaron were really good with the whole group. There were a couple of people with not much experience but they were looked after very well. Everyone appeared to enjoy the experience. It was a little hard to hear some of the spiel on the area at times but that is the nature of the beast and we could ask as we caught up to either of our guides.

Awesome Trip, was referred by a friend, and would definitely refer my friends now. Adventure Kayaking SA was a great friendly operator, made sure all the safety aspects were covered, and didn't make it feel like a rushed experience in any way. Our kids 8+10 also had a great time. Turns out the double kayak isn't too difficult to be paddled by one person if the kiddies get tired... Well done guys (Rob and Chelsea), great people and a great experience.

This was a great day out. The instructors, Monique and Jonathon, were very friendly and made the trip fun with their training and knowledge of the area. We didn't get to see any dolphins unfortunately but that must happen sometimes. What an amazing secluded spot in Adelaide.
