Another great time - Always does what it says on the tin! 2 out of 3 times we’ve seen Dolphins. The pre safety talk & education , just so peaceful

Discovering a new world in the magrave water ways. - Well managed by the team leader who passed on interesting information on what we were seeing in the mangrove channels. Water was quite low which made for challenging navigation but we all had plenty of laughs out of it. All you cares are left behind as you paddle in these silent water ways. Excellent experience and highly recommend.

Great fun, want to do it again. - Two hours kayaking from garden island. Beautiful day, saw the dolphins, they came really close. We got a good ‘tutorial’ before we went out. All the equipment and a map provided.

A nice afternoon on the water - A great afternoon. It was nice to have a small group. Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Whilst we did not see any dolphins it was still an enjoyable experience. Would recommend.

Waste of time - I did the hour and half one spend half the time getting ready to go in the water hardly any time in the water. Seen no dolphins and wasn’t worth the half an hour journey from Adelaide central. Instructions not great didn’t give much information and wasn’t helpful or that friendly wouldn’t bother.
