Head To The Marina
Arrive at the Marina Pier in Glenelg 15 minutes prior to your departure time of 8am and climb aboard your vessel, Temptation. The vessel can hold up to 50 passengers but half will be swimming with the dolphins while the other half (this tour) will stay dry and dolphin watch from the boat! If you want to score a seat, be sure to arrive early as seating is limited. However, there is plenty of space for comfortably and safely standing.
Spot Dolphins
Once you've departed the marina, your crew will take you to the prime dolphin locations. So keep your eyes peeled for Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, and short-beaked common dolphins frolicking in the waves. Your onboard Marine Biologists will provide facts and information about the dolphins in their natural environment. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture these beautiful creatures as they approach the vessel - they love playing at the bow of the boat!
Return to Shore
After spotting dolphins and taking as many photos as you can for 4 hours, you'll head back to shore. Feel free to bring your own snacks to munch on for the journey home as the bar onboard will be closed during your tour. Arrive back at the marina between 11:30am and 12pm, ready to enjoy the rest of your day post-dolphin high!
