Join us for a kayak tour around Adelaide and discover shipwrecks in the Ship's Graveyard Maritime Heritage Trail and meander through the mangrove lined channels around Garden Island. If you're lucky, you might even spot some of the resident dolphins on this tour.
Explore Adelaide’s own dolphin sanctuary and shipwreck heritage trail around Garden Island by kayak.
We will take you through wonderful mangrove lined creeks and see a wealth of bird life and sea creatures along with shipwrecks. There are over 25 shipwrecks scattered around this area. Some were grand sailing ships others were tugs or barges each with its own unique history including one of the very first iron built ships in the world.
This half day trip is ideal for families and people who just want to relax and soak up the heritage this area has to offer. The lush forest of Grey Mangroves provides a haven for extensive bird and sea life.
Located only 25 minutes from Adelaide CBD at Garden Island it makes it easy access for a day which is out of the ordinary.
Tours run from Spring to late Autumn and are conducted in double sea kayaks, which are easy to paddle, stable and very comfortable.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
Venue:
Adelaide, South Australia.

We really enjoyed the trip in the Adelaide River. The highlight was the detour up the little creek, with the overhanging mangroves.
-
I would like to have received more information about the Port River from the guide.

Tour leader was great and he did a tremendous job despite the windy conditions. Tour would have been improved if the leader provided more information about what we were seeing - e.g. more historical background on the ship wrecks, the river, the fish sanctuary and the mangrove swamps - this would greatly improve the enjoyment of the trip.

As much as the weather was so bad that it was cancelled, I met the operator who was very friendly and the area we should have kayaked around is quite breath taking

The group was small which was great, the instructor gave good instruction and had a good knowledge of the area. Unfortunately on the day the current was extremly strong so we weren't able to stay around the ship wrecks for long, we also capsized in the mangroves due to the current being so strong. Our instructor was great in this stituation and very calm, he ensured our safety was paramount and when we had our kayak back an ready to go, he made sure we were comfortable to continue.
