Paddle Adelaide’s mangrove creeks, spot wild dolphins and shipwrecks, and learn about a fragile marine ecosystem on this relaxed 3-hour kayak tour.

“Fantastic experience - though we didn’t see dolphins we loved kayaking through the mangroves and seeing this unique ecosystem. I’m also happy the company don’t use bait or sounds to tempt the dolphins, as they should be free in their own habitats. Brayden was a great guide, friendly and informative.”
