Lovely day on the Port

What a lovely time we had. Traveling the Port River on a cruise with Port River Cruises. The crew was great and very knowledgeable. Not the greatest of days regarding the weather but we did see a couple of dolphins and many birds. Highly recommended.

What you can expect

Hop aboard this two-hour Port Adelaide cruise and get the chance to spot playful dolphins, impressive submarines and ancient mangrove forests. Plenty of seats with covered outside decks are available plus restrooms on board for your convenience. Start off by diving into the captivating maritime history of the Port and the plans to keep it shipshape for today’s needs. Discover the well-known Dolphin Sanctuary and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for some of the resident dolphin population swimming by. Learn about their behaviour and see if you can spot one of the 30 resident or 400 transient dolphins visiting at changing times.

Don’t miss the incredible mangrove forest who has been growing for an impressive 10,000 years, packed with an abundance of wildlife. Easy-going commentary adds fun facts during your tour, so you know exactly which landmarks you’re passing by and what tasks the working vessels around the Port have. If you’re keen to dive even deeper, there’s a PowerPoint presentation running on board with heaps of information for curious minds. A great way to explore Adelaide from a new perspective with historical and modern insights.

Great experience for young and old.

We were lucky enough to see dolphins up so close. A very informative tour, the time seemed to fly by. Well worth the money.
