What you can expect

Embark on a captivating 90-minute tour of Port Adelaide, exploring its rich maritime history and iconic landmarks. This cruise offers a unique glimpse into the port's past as you navigate past famous ships and landmarks. Venture into the Ship Graveyard, where you'll see colossal wrecks partially submerged in the Port River's hidden backwaters. Continue your journey with a search for local dolphins in the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary, home to one of the few wild dolphin populations within a city. While dolphin sightings are not guaranteed, the experience is a highlight. Conclude your tour with a visit to the bird sanctuary, where you might spot migratory shorebirds, including endangered species like the Curlew sandpiper, as well as familiar Aussie birds.

Our Port Cruise was very enjoyable!! Definitely recommend!

We loved our Port River dolphin & shipwreck boat cruise! Our guide was informative and friendly. We saw dolphin jumping in front of a boat and the shipwrecks were amazing. I loved the information we learnt about the area and the tv that provided extra info about the shipwrecks! Would recommend to family & friends!
