Attitude no good ,so unprofessional ,bad service
WeiPing_T

To be honest, I don’t want to give one star. The main precautions were not informed. I booked the 9.30a.m Dolphin Sanctuary Kayak for four people. They didn’t tell me the night before that I needed to arrive at the destination 15 minutes in advance to prepare and wait. When we arrived at our destination at 9.26a.m, the person in charge said that we were 15 minutes late, and they were treat us very unfriendly and unpatience.At first, my friend and I had no experience in kayaking, and the kayak kept shaking. The male staff directly said to us: (If you don’t know how to row, I advise you don’t play kayak! Just now you didn't listen to the coach's explanation kayak lessons?) I've only been in the kayak for less than a minute, does the manager need to say something so impolite to us? We really come on vacation pay money for enjoy and have fun, not for pissed off. It is in the tourist attraction service industry. If there is no good service attitude and patience, I advise the service center staff not to do this job, not you to persuade us don’t row kayak. This service attitude makes me not want to visit again.

HI WeiPin we are very shocked and sad to read your review. This is very strange behaviour from our guides and is something I will need to look into further and discuss with our guides. We apologise that you felt you were not dealt with correctly and that you did not enjoy your tour with us.
Great way to spend the morning.

Our guide shared his knowledge of dolphins and their environment with us as we kyacked our way around the sanctuary. We had never kayaked before, so it was a great way to learn. We really enjoyed the stillness of the glide through the mangroves.

An Amazing kayaking experience with the dolphins

Our tour guide Noah was amazing at telling us details about the ship wreak and the mangroves. When asked a question he was able to answer in heaps of detail. We saw a mother and calf dolphin who was doing tricks, who got quite close to us. Love the experience and would recommend it to anyone coming to Adelaide.
No dolphins kayak.

An enjoyable kayak along the mangroves. It may be a dolphin sanctuary but we saw no sign of dolphins. Limited wildlife in industrial area with poor water quality. Dumped old ships, not shipwrecks.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
HI Gina we are very sad to hear your review. The dolphins we normally see around the Garden Island area are wild dolphins who come and go as they please (we dont feed them or coax them to the area) and as such we do not guarantee you will see dolphins during this eco tour. The two main shipwrecks we normally visit are the "Santiago" which was built in 1856 and was layed to rest in the ships graveyard in 1945 and the other is the "Dorothy" which has was built in 1920 and wrecked in 1932. We are glad you enjoyed the mangrove creeks.
Worth doing

Lovely few hours on the calming water. Nice to see the Mongroves and shipwrecks - unfortunately we did not get to see any dolphins. Also a little hard to hear the commentary at time - but well worth a visit

Seeing the dolfins up close and having our guide explain so many interesting facts! What an experience I will definitely recommend it to friends who are in the area
Beautiful day on the river

The mangroves were amazing! So beautiful paddling through the shaded mangroves, & so quiet & cool.
We saw plenty of dolphins playing & saw 3 shipwrecks. Interesting history.
All the information provided by our guide Noah was great & he looked after us well.
Beautiful way to spend a day.
Thank you
Would recommend!

It was a lovely experience. Myself and my husband had a lovely time exploring shipwrecks, as well as the mangroves. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin with her calf.
Our tour guid was good with generic knowledge in regards to the ships, but struggled with majority of questions asked. Such as names of the mangrove forests, and basic dolphin knowledge. Overall our tour guid was super friendly, and had a few cool, interesting facts to share. Prices are good. Toilets, and water were available as well.
Definately a good time, would definitely do it again.
Best experience..

It is one of the best experiences you could ever have in Adelaide! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We saw heaps of dolphins and went to the mangrove which is just so magical! I will never forget that experience.

Great day out dolphins and kayaking

Our guide Kirralee was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the trip. We were especially lucky with brilliant weather, a high tide and dolphins galore from start to finish, a highlight was a pair of dolphins swimming between all of our kayaks, something we will all treasure, also the shipwrecks and the mangrove paddle we found very interesting, couldn’t recommend this trip enough 🦈🦈
Wonderful, tranquil and educational experience

Learning about the mangroves and being part of a group. The guide was very informative and we learned a lot. I would definitely recommend this wonderful experience in Port Adelaide
Fabulous activity

Great experience. Highlight of our Adelaide trip. Was lucky enough to spot some dolphins within the first couple of minutes of getting onto the water. Our guide was so great and so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back
Loved it.

Fantastic experience.
Zander was very informative about the area and clearly loves the work he does.
Thanks for a fabulous day.
Only suggestion is perhaps have some solo kayaks .
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Thank you so much for your 5 star review Tina, we are so pleased you "Loved it". I will pass on your thanks to Zanda and yes, being a marine biologist, this is something he loves to do. We are in the process of getting a few more single kayaks. We hope to see you again some time in the future.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above.
