Shipwreck and Dolphin Tour

Explore Adelaide’s own Dolphin Sanctuary and shipwreck heritage trail around Garden Island by sea kayak. On this kayak tour it is rare that we don't see the resident dolphins swimming and playing in the waters. At times they will even socialise with us making it a non-forgettable experience when they do. We also paddle through wonderful mangrove lined creeks and see a wealth of bird life and sea creatures. There are over 25 ship wrecks scattered around this area. Some were grand sailing ships and others were tugs or barges, each with its own unique history. We will get up close with one of the very first iron built ships ever made in the world - the Santiago, built in Scotland and in service for over 100 hundred years. This trip is ideal for families and people who just want to relax and soak up the heritage this area has to offer. Located only 25minutes from Adelaide CBD at Garden Island it makes it easy access for a day which is out of the ordinary.
