What you can expect

Embark on a captivating 90-minute tour of Port Adelaide, exploring its rich maritime history and iconic landmarks. This cruise offers a unique glimpse into the port's past as you navigate past famous ships and landmarks. Venture into the Ship Graveyard, where you'll see colossal wrecks partially submerged in the Port River's hidden backwaters. Continue your journey with a search for local dolphins in the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary, home to one of the few wild dolphin populations within a city. While dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, the experience is a highlight. Conclude your tour with a visit to the bird sanctuary, where you might spot migratory shorebirds, including endangered species like the Curlew sandpiper, as well as familiar Aussie birds.
