Zachary – United States

Nice tour! We saw so many pods & dolphins up close. The front view was the best!!

Charlie – United Kingdom

What an amazing experience to swim alongside dolphins in their natural habitat. Crew were fantastic and we felt safe the whole day. Had an issue with my snorkel being broken which of course I didn't realize until I was in and the mask was filling with water - but this did not ruin my day! I will say that the front swim is WAY BETTER than the back swim - I felt like I was fighting for my life being towed along by the boat, and people barely saw dolphins back there, compared to the front you're basically just lying in a big net and the dolphins were all playing at the front of the boat!! A great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Adelaide

Full description

Spend your vacation doing something unique and unforgettable on an excursion that takes you out into the waters, and swim alongside wild dolphins. On this 3.5-hour tour, you are guaranteed to see dolphins, which are one of the Earth’s most fascinating and curious creatures.


Meet at the Holdfast Shores Marina in Glenelg, a mere 15 minutes outside of Adelaide. From there, board the 'Temptation', a 58-foot colossal sailing catamaran.

As the boat cruises, experience the beauty of Australia's southern coastline. Eventually, come to rest in the waters where the wild dolphins will come to greet you and play in the waters.


Don your wetsuit, mask, and snorkel, and take the plunge into the waters. Experience the breathtaking moment when you see dolphins underwater for the first time. Watch and listen; their grace and playfulness is stunning and the sounds of their whistles and echo location noises are mesmerizing.

Once your adventure comes to an end, you will be taken back to the marina. Spend some time checking out the many restaurants and shops that grace the shoreline.

It was better than expected and the interaction with the dolphins was awesome! So nice to see them relaxed and happy to come and play around us whilst being completely free to do what they want
