It's not every day you get to paddle through the waterways of a 10,000-year-old mangrove forest—places where only kayaks can go. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to encounter dolphins and to kayak up close to historic shipwrecks—relics of a bygone era.

This is a truly special experience that's difficult to replicate, making Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak Tours a must-do for anyone looking to explore Adelaide's unique marine environment from the water.

Their fully guided tours include informative commentary from experienced guides with extensive knowledge of this remarkable marine ecosystem, its dolphins and other marine mammals, and the diverse wildlife you may encounter along the way.

No previous kayaking experience is required. You'll travel at a comfortable pace, making the tour accessible to people with a reasonable level of fitness. Tours depart from our private facilities (secure lock-up car parking, club room and toilets) at Angas Inlet Boat Club on Garden Island, Port Adelaide, just 30 minutes from Adelaide CBD.

Come paddle through ancient mangroves, discover forgotten shipwrecks and experience nature up close - the eco-friendly way.

Dolphin Sanctuary Eco Tour

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 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, keep an eye out for nesting sea birds and other marine life that frequent the area. With minimal commentary, you'll be immersed in the sounds of the "Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary" and "Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary". This is a peaceful and unique experience – perfect for a memorable date night. Participants don't need any prior kayaking experience and it is all done at a comfortable pace . This is an adults-only tour.
