Great 4.0
The location was excellent for sightseeing. The reception staff were also very kind. The amenities were minimal, but I didn't find it a problem as long as I brought my usual toiletries.

we had a Lovely time. The mangroves were most probably the best we've paddled through. Go for the mangroves and count dolphins as a bonus. We saw some while onshore but not while paddling. Be warned there is nothing at the site so bring plenty of fluids.

Wonderful Dolphin Experience with Temptation Sailing I joined the dolphin watch tour with Temptation Sailing today and it was absolutely fantastic. The crew were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the local dolphin pods — I learned so much from them throughout the trip. The experience really came alive when the sun came out. Suddenly, the dolphins appeared all around us, swimming so close to the boat. It was such a lovely and surprising moment, and honestly the highlight of my day. The whole journey was calm, relaxing, and beautifully organised — a perfect way to spend 4 hours on the water. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Adelaide or Glenelg. Truly memorable.

Attractions along the way: Taking a boat within the port, not actually going out to sea. The scenery is average, but you can see dolphins, and they will chase the boat for a while. Cost-effectiveness: Acceptable, considering the boat is very large. Service: The explanation is very detailed.

This was a very valuable travel experience. I gained a lot of experiences, including: 1. Seeing seals up close at Seal Bay — they were super cute. 2. Spotting wildlife like koalas; the guide helped track them for us. 3. Enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Kangaroo Island. 4. Feeding kangaroos and petting koalas. In one day, we visited many spots on the island, so the time at each stop wasn’t very long. It was a fast-paced but fulfilling trip.

Purchased 2 activity tour for puffing billy train, heasville and Yarra choloaterie as well as Phillip island, moonlit sanctuary, nobbies and Brighton beach boxes day tours. The tours were guided by 2 different company. Both guides were knowledgeable and multi tasked as a driver and photographer too. Redemption was fuss free. Sufficient time was provided at each stop to allow us to take photos or have meals. There were some cost savings compared to booking them individually. Recommend to purchase the pass depending whether the activities listed are places you planned to go.

1. Check the weather and dress for the day

Adelaide’s weather changes during the year, so light layers help. If you plan to visit the Adelaide Hills or walk in parks like Morialta Conservation Park, bring comfy shoes and sun protection.

You can move around the city center and beaches using trams, buses, and trains. The routes help you reach popular attractions without driving.
