Highlights

Enjoy this is a must do activity when visiting Adelaide with your own private
group cruise! See the iconic Ships Graveyard, the unique Adelaide Dolphin
Sanctuary, the wonderful International Bird Sanctuary and so much more.


A Guided Tour

Your Skipper on the day will also be your cruise guide. Sit back, relax and
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.
