Port River Dolphin Sanctuary  half day trips.  

Explore the wonderful world of Mangroves just 30 minutes from   Adelaide.  

Discover shipwrecks in the Ship's Graveyard Maritime Heritage Trail and kayak amongst the mangroves. We may even see some of the resident dolphins on this tour. 

Tours run spring to late autumn and are conducted in double sea kayaks, which are easy to paddle, stable and very comfortable. 

A mangrove is a woody plant or plant community which lives between the sea and the and in areas which are inundated by tides. Thus a mangrove is a species as well as a community of plants. It can be a tree it can also be a shrub or palm. All share the ability to live in salt water.

Worldwide, vast tracts of mangroves have been destroyed so we are lucky to have relatively large areas of Australia tallest and best-developed mangroves still existing on our doorstep.
