Australia · KAYAK TOURS IN ADELAIDE
The good kayak tours in Adelaide go weeks out and the best go sooner. Below: the 9 to lock in early, what each includes and where they differ.
Kayak Port Adelaide mangroves with a marine biologist. 3 hours from $55. Spot dolphins, birds, and shipwrecks in 10,000-year creeks.
“We really enjoyed the tour. our guide Mark was very knowledgeable n new his stuff. The only thing I would say if there could be a toilet stop within the 3hrs. 3hrs on water n no toilet stop is a big ask for some.”
Kayak Adelaide’s Dolphin Sanctuary through mangrove creeks with a naturalist guide. Gear, life jackets, and waterproof bags included.
“Great experience with older kids and as a family! Didn't see any dolphins but still enjoyed it tremendously.”
Kayak Port River mangroves to spot Adelaide’s dolphins and see the Garden Island shipwreck graveyard. Small-group tour from $55.94.
“The trip along the creek was a lovely, cosy look at the dense wildlife that exists along the water’s edge. Another fond memory was the lovely feeling of floating around the river bends and seeing the amazing fauna! The staff were also an incredible part of the experience. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs, even helping us with making our way back to Adelaide. They were full of brilliant anecdotes and tidbits about the area and their experiences! Would highly recommend”
Paddle the Port Adelaide River through mangroves, shipwrecks, and dolphin habitat on a 3-hour guided kayak tour from Garden Island.
“Calm experience - good tuition and great to see dolphins”
Full-day kayaking in Coorong National Park with meals included, Young Husband Peninsula dune walking, and a Murray Mouth lookout.
“Good outing. Need basic fitness as you could be kayaking against the tide and into some waves. Spotted some seals. Caught pelicans and other birds hunting for fish. Explored some locations with rich history. Great tour guide. Beautiful road to drive back home.”
Kayak Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary mangroves on a 90-minute express tour with safety gear, a guide, and a chance to spot Port River dolphins.
“It was a very interesting experience and the scenery was amazing. I would highly recommend doing this. We also saw a few dolphins along the way.”
Kayak Adelaide’s Port River Dolphin Sanctuary through mangrove creeks in 90 minutes, looking for dolphins, seals, and sea lions.
“Great experience, great for kids and adults, Keenan and Darla were fantastic. Overall we would do it again - remember water bottles and a hat”
Paddle a kayak through Adelaide’s mangroves at Garden Island, hunt for dolphins in your own time, with a safety briefing included.
“Pleasant paddle up a mangrove creek. Arrived half hour early as requested only to be told to come back at start time. Intro, rules, and launch used half hour of 2 hour time. Limited area allowed to paddle coupled with short time means you are probably unlikely to see any dolphins. Next time will probably pay more for longer guided tour with different company that covers more area and gets to visit wrecks. OK for the price but was expecting more (maybe unrealistically).”
Guided 90-minute River Torrens kayaking in Adelaide with gear, life jacket, and small-group instruction, plus scenic city views.
“It was a beautiful day, the guide was very nice and informative.”
Pick a coast, a city or a kind of day.
