Sanctuary, the wonderful International Bird Sanctuary and so much more.
A Guided Tour

enjoy the views as your guide talks you through the local history, famous
ships and iconic locations you are cruising through
A Rich Maritime History
The Port Adelaide River is steeped in a rich maritime history that you will
discover as you cruise along its length, seeing famous ships and locations.
Your cruise guide will point out interesting landmarks and vessels, and we
provide a PowerPoint display with additional information for the duration of
the cruise.
The Ships Graveyard
Don’t miss out! For the first time you are able to enter Port Adelaide’s
completely unique Ships Graveyard on a guided cruise. Be amazed as you cruise
past giant wrecks, half-submerged in the hidden backwaters of the Port River
and learn their history.
Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary
Enjoy cruising through the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary searching for local
dolphins, one of the only wild dolphin populations living within a city. Keep
an eye out for some of the famous local residents and, during the warmer
months, newborn calves! Please note - we do not guarentee a dolphin sighting
as these are wild animals and come and go as they please
International Bird Sanctuary
Travel towards the bird sanctuary where there's an opportunity to see
migratory shorebirds, including threatened species such as Curlew
sandpiper as well as well-known Aussie favourites like the Australian Pelican
and Pied Cormorant.
