Make your vacation unforgettable with a rare chance to swim alongside wild dolphins just off the Adelaide coast. Meet at Glenelg’s Holdfast Shores Marina and board Temptation, a 58-foot catamaran built for dolphin interaction.
Cruise into the waters of Gulf St Vincent, where hundreds of bottlenose and common dolphins live year-round. Sightings are extremely frequent, and these curious creatures often come close to interact in their natural habitat.
Put on your wetsuit, mask, and snorkel, then slip into the water for a breathtaking experience. Watch as dolphins glide effortlessly beneath you, hear their unique clicks and whistles, and feel the magic of swimming just meters away from them.
After your 3.5-hour marine adventure, return to the marina where you can explore seaside cafes, shops, and relax by the coast. This tour is ideal for ocean lovers seeking real, respectful wildlife encounters.
It was amazing! We saw 2 pods of dolphins are they were swimming so close by that you could touch them (in theory). We were divided into groups and every group went into the water at least 3 times
Nice tour! We saw so many pods & dolphins up close. The front view was the best!!
A Memorable Dolphin Experience in Adelaide We recently had the opportunity to join a dolphin swim experience in Adelaide, and it was unforgettable! We were fortunate to spot our first small pod of dolphins within the first half hour of the trip. Although they swam quickly past us, it was still an incredible sight to see them in their natural habitat. Later, we were even luckier to encounter another pod of dolphins. This group stayed with the boat for quite some time, swimming gracefully alongside us. Watching them so closely and for an extended period made the experience absolutely fabulous. The crew was knowledgeable and professional, adding to the overall enjoyment of the trip. If you are in Adelaide, I would highly recommend this experience for a chance to connect with nature and create lasting memories!
What an amazing experience to swim alongside dolphins in their natural habitat. Crew were fantastic and we felt safe the whole day. Had an issue with my snorkel being broken which of course I didn’t realize until I was in and the mask was filling with water – but this did not ruin my day! I will say that the front swim is WAY BETTER than the back swim – I felt like I was fighting for my life being towed along by the boat, and people barely saw dolphins back there, compared to the front you’re basically just lying in a big net and the dolphins were all playing at the front of the boat!! A great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Adelaide
the most magical unforgettable experience crew were amazing not just with my kids bit myself also as I was a bit nervous but thanks to the support and encouragement I went in seen dolphins and had the best experience of my life absolutely unforgettable would do it again in a heartbeat
It was certainly an amazing experience. Crew was friendly, full of knowledge and support. Even though there wasn’t much dolphin to see for us on our booking time they have tried to find and get close to any pod. Luckily end of the tour we have seen beautiful dolphins around us. Also they were kind enough to offer everyone free reschedule and the crew offered swimming refund those who booked swimming and couldn’t get a chance to experience this matter. If you are into be in the sea, have fresh air, see amazingly beautiful views and creatures. Book now!!!
Had an absolute blast, great value for money. The staff were amazing too.
