It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to paddle your way through a 10,000 year old mangrove forest amidst hundreds of migrating and native dolphin species. It’s a special experience that simply can’t be replicated, which is why Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak Tours is a must-do!
The guides are marina biologists with experience working with marine mammals and wildlife. Participants don’t need any prior kayaking experience, and they travel at a comfortable pace to accommodate intermediate fitness levels. During the tour, you’ll stumble across a number of wildlife and shipwreck sighting opportunities, so be sure to bring your camera!

Once you get out, you’ll paddle through creeks whilst listening to local Aboriginal stories. View the abundant bird life, marine mammals and other creatures that make up the intricate eco system. Another addition to this experience is the Sanctuary, which is part of South Australia’s largest port. It has a rich Aboriginal and European cultural background with a number of noteworthy landmarks to explore. The mangrove forest makes the ultimate feeding grounds for dolphins due to the abundance of seagrass, saltmarsh, and the tidal flats and creeks.

Guided Twilight Tour

Kayak in one of Adelaide’s “secret spots”, located 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD and paddle places only kayaks can go.
Join us for a relaxing two hour guided twilight tour exploring the sheltered mangrove creeks of Garden Island, home to a mangrove forest that has been there for over 10,000 years.
As the sun sets, we’ll glide through the narrow creeks with the soft glow of head torches illuminating the eerie yet beautiful mangrove trees. During this time we’ll keep an eye out for nesting sea birds and other marine life that frequent the area.
