    Full description
    Enjoy a half-day cruise looking for some of the world’s most delightful creatures, departing from Marina Pier, Holdfast Shores, Glenelg. Dolphins are among the earth’s most curious mammals and you will get up-close-and-personal with the beautiful beasts from the decks of the Temptation catamaran. You will be welcomed on board the 58-foot sailing vessel by an enthusiastic crew. Sometimes you will see your first dolphins within minutes of cruising. They seem to come out of nowhere to play around Temptation’s hulls. But be assured they are not coaxed in any way. These are wild dolphins that simply know the vessel, and know that they are not in any danger. As the gulf is home to over 1,000 common and bottlenose dolphins, the cruise comes with a money-back guarantee of sightings. The dolphins are only just out of reaching distance from the deck, enabling you to capture their playful displays on film. Back on dry land, you can spend the rest of the day exploring the faculties at Holdfast Shores Marina, or wander down Jetty Road in Glenelg, enjoying the dozens of restaurants and shops.

    We had our best ever experience of watching dolphins ! The tour about 3.5hrs was well worth. We saw dozens of dolphins over 2.5hrs during this journey right in front of our eyes. Highly, highly recommended these guys to anyone who is interested of enjoying the experience of watching Dophins. Especially, the crew was awesome, knowledgeable and know where they can spot clusters of Dophins. As they guaranteed, in website, no one will be disappointed of not seeing Dophins. The experience was awesome. Thanks Zac and the crew!!

    very excellent crew. Will, Zach and Izzy very professional Watched Zach coach a hesitant swimmer get into the water. He was so kind and understanding towards her it took my notice. In the end she finally got in and the look on her face getting out was unbelievable. Thank you Zach for giving this lady a lifetime experience which she would not have had without Zachs encouragement.

    The trip on the app was misrepresented. We thought that we were buying tickets to swim with dolphins, this was not the case. There are two ticket types and only one shown on the app. That said Temptation sailing were excellent. while we did not end up swimming with the dolphins, they were informative, friendly and have assisted us to do the sail agin and swim with dolphins
