Let Kangaroo Island Spirits take the helm!
For those who can’t make it over to the magical South Australian oasis that is Kangaroo Island, why not experience the beauty of KI in our very own city of Adelaide? Join us here at Popeye on a vibrant tasting tour whilst cruising along The Torrens River with special city views you’d be pressed to experience any other way.
Enjoy a curated selection of three KIS gin’s specially paired with three delicious treats; something fresh, something sweet and something savoury.
Tasting tours run for an hour and a half and a KI representative will talk you through the experience, what you’re tasting, how the spirits are crafted and the significance of distilling from KI. Have your questions at the ready and be prepared for an insightful cruise.
Of course, there will be a bar on board selling a specialty KI cocktail and all of the regular favourites of beer, wine and cider.

The tour takes you up and down the Torrrens with the expert guide fiving in-depth information and even handing around old pictures to back up the stories. We had Sam, and he was great, funny, and very calm even with some kids getting over excited and making a lot of noise.
It is fun seeing and waving to all the people in the parklands along the tour. Especially when Sam toots the horn.
The price is good and reflects the quality experience.
Excellent commentary, revealing local history, highly recommend booking in advance.
Local snacks and drinks available.
Say hi to Popeye, you won't be disappointed.
90 years. The captan is full of lovely Adelaide stories & refreshments are available on board if required.
Captain is amazing he showed old pictures of same sites or historical facts
Kids can go and press the boat horn which is amazing they love it
I would recommend to anyone going on the cruise to book online. This guarantees a place on the tour. It's easy to follow on the website. From start to finish, it was a wonderful time.
It’s really quite like going back into time to small cruises with locals running the show. The staff were great - the Devonshire tea huge (2 massive scones, heaps of cream and jam plus a coffee/tea), and just a pleasant way to learn more about the city.
(You can tell that the “captain” giving the commentary loves his city!)
It could be vastly improved and made more interesting by including the Kaurna Indigenous cultural history and current Kaurna relationship with the modern-day city. The commentary provided was 99% white Australian &/or colonial related, with just a passing mention of the Kaurna people having predated &/or being around during colonial settlement.
Thank You Adelaide Popeye
We hopped off the tour at the Botanical Gardens which saved us another walking trip!
Captain was very interesting by explaining where we going & showing photographs of the start of the original Popeye
Would definitely recommend - great value.
Highly recommend this relaxing, beautiful trip in a great location. Thank you.
We had a delightful hour on the Popeye with a prepacked Devonshire Tea supplied.
The scones were large and fresh with ample Jam and Cream.
There was a constant commentary by the skipper and we saw and learned things about and around the Torrens that as locals we did not know before.
Thoroughly recommend this.
There is a bar on board to purchase snacks and drinks from.
We had absolutely stunning weather for our cruise.
People did not have to have pre purchased tickets; it is also possible to purchase tickets on site where the boat docks at Elder Park.
Many thanks for the lovely tour 🛥️🌊
Tip for anyone: try and and sit on the captains side of the boat - all the commentary is focussed on that side.
I just loved the “captain”. He was nice, funny and very knowledgeable. I bought the ticket from Agoda, $21 per person. 50 minutes enjoyable cruising.💝
Easy to get on and off.
Very clean on board.
Even a little bar and cafe on board. ????
Although only a short trip due to the rivers depth and the overflow at the other end I would highly recommend this trip
Nice relaxing 45-50 minute cruise with a trip along the Torrens River.
Very informative, crew pleasant and helpful.
Food / drinks available onboard.
Get to see Adelaide from another side.
Would recommend.
I have been told they also offer other events on board, on special occasions. Their website is well some and regularly updated so keep an eye for events to come.
I highly recommend River Torrens Popeye Cruise if you are visiting Adelaide.
The kids on board had opportunity to beep the boat's horn, which went down well.
Locals were friendly and waved as we passed
