It's not every day that you get the opportunity to paddle your way through a 10,000-year-old mangrove forest amid approximately 30 residents and 300 transient dolphins. It's an exceptional experience that simply can't be replicated, which is why this guided kayak tour is a must-do!
The lead guide and Marine Biologist has over five years of experience working with marine mammals and wildlife. You don't need any prior kayaking experience, you travel at a comfortable pace to accommodate all participants, but you do need reasonable fitness levels.
Once you get out in the water, the group will paddle through creeks whilst listening to local Aboriginal stories. View the abundant birdlife, marine mammals and other creatures that make up the intricate ecosystem. Another addition to this experience is the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary, part of South Australia's largest port. It has a rich Aboriginal and European cultural background with several noteworthy landmarks to explore.
The Sanctuary boasts the 10,000-year-old mangrove forest, which makes the ultimate feeding grounds for dolphins due to the abundance of seagrass, saltmarsh, and the tidal flats and creeks. In addition, the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary shares a big part of the northern coastal habitat for those interested in bird watching.
Several other locations make perfect spectating grounds to watch local residents like fur seals, stingrays, and even the endangered Australian sea lion. Of course, this is a wild sanctuary, and therefore the animals are free to come and go as they please, so your guide cannot guarantee that you will be lucky enough to see them on the day. However, sightings are frequent!
