Set off on a relaxing half-day dolphin-watching cruise from Marina Pier, Glenelg aboard the spacious 58-foot Temptation catamaran. After a warm welcome from the friendly crew, sail into the waters of Gulf St Vincent—home to one of Australia’s largest dolphin populations.
With over 1,000 common and bottlenose dolphins living in the area, sightings are incredibly frequent. Many guests spot their first dolphins within minutes of departure, as these curious animals often swim alongside the boat and leap through the waves.
Enjoy stunning views of the coastline while getting close to dolphins in their natural environment—no fences, no feeding, just raw, beautiful encounters. After returning to shore, spend the rest of the day exploring Holdfast Shores Marina or shopping and dining along Jetty Road in Glenelg.
This cruise is perfect for nature lovers and photographers seeking genuine marine wildlife encounters.
Any day you spend 4 hours on the water is fantastic, Dolphones and poeple a bonus!

Very close look at the dolphins. Very nice experience. Sitting could be a little more comfortable though.
We had a fabulous trip. The water was glass making it easy to see the dolphins. We sat up the front talking to Quinn. He was a great host and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. We will be back to try the swimming option.
Watching the dolphins was amazing but the best part of my experience was that a few people didn’t show up for their swimming with dolphins session and I got to do that instead. This was even better!!! Definitely a must do!
Had an amazing morning, all of us rated it 10/10 both those watching and those who got to swim thanks to a lucky few cancellations! Incredible to see the dolphins so close, a must do!
