I never being so close to dolphins in an open ocean but this unforgettable experience let me almost touch them! Wet suits and boots provided by company made us feel warm in water and clear instructions brought sense of safety. We loved it!

    Thanks so much, Patricia! We’re so glad you had a great time — and how good is it when a search turns into a pod of 20! That’s always a special moment. Lovely to hear you enjoyed the cruise out of the marina and that our crew could share their knowledge of the marine life in the bay. Even from onboard, those photo opportunities can be incredible. Thanks again for coming out with us! The Temptation Sailing Team

    What an amazing first dolphin encounter to have. We are so glad you felt safe and comfortable in the water and enjoyed being so close to these incredible animals. Thanks for trusting us with such a special experience. We loved having you on board!

    The best nature experience in Adelaide!

    Absolutely incredible experince to see wild dolphins naturally without interruption. We saw a pod of sleepy dolphins and another that was very playful. Also since we went in January some babies and a pregnant mum too! A must do on any Adelaide trip! The crew was so lovely to chat too and enthusiastic every time we saw dolphins.

Our crew will be stoked to hear your kind words. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on board again one day! 🐬

    We were so incredibly lucky with the dolphins - we were in the middle of a school of dolphins and saw lots of babies. The organization was fantastic, the guides super friendly and knowledgeable.

    Really cool experience!

    Deborah_B, Apr 2025
    We travel a lot so there aren't many "unique activities" left. But this is one - we really loved seeing the dolphins up close! We were very pleased that this is done in a way that seems like the dolphins have choice - they don't have to be there and they aren't doing it to get fed (no feeding is done). So it seems like the dolphins are just there to have fun and can swim away when they want to which made us feel good. The dolphins are so fun to be near and the crew was very nice!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Solo in Adelaide

    I had a wonderful day. I was only in Adelaide for a couple of days and im glad i chose to swim with the dolphins. I am 60 and rather over weight and was very hesitant about how i would go. The staff were wonderful and helpful and didnt make me feel like a beached whale..recommend to anyone.

    Superbra!

    En fantastiskt upplevelse! Jag skulle gärna göra om det. Jag tog tre simtur under kryssning och såg varje gång delfinerna under vattnet. Staffan ombord var trevligt och hjälpsam.
