Dolphins are one of the Earth’s most fascinating and curious creatures and Temptation offers you this amazing opportunity to get up close to them, something that you will remember forever.

Operated By:

Temptation Sailing

Sit down, relax and watch from the front of Temptation and enjoy our 360 degree viewing deck. Watch the dolphins play on the bow of the boat swimming only a few feet away from you and your camera. 


Listen to our knowledgable Marine Biologists educate and explain the interactions with our amazing Indo-Pacific bottlenose and short-beaked common dolphins.

The gulf in which we operate is home to over 1300 residential Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and 1000-2000 migratory short-beaked common dolphins. During our Dolphin Watch we guarantee we will see dolphins on this tour. 

It is important to remember that all of the dolphins we see on our tours are completely wild and every interaction is different. We do not do anything to attract them and they choose to swim with us on their own free will.


Important: Infants must be booked on an infant ticket, as they count toward our total passenger capacity. If an infant is not included in the booking, we may be unable to accommodate them on board.

Thank you for your booking with Temptation Sailing. We look forward to meeting you and showing you our backyard.


Algal Bloom Update

To our valued customers, as you may be aware parts of South Australia are currently experiencing an algal bloom  including waters along Adelaide Metropolitan Coast. 


We have been operating daily since September and noticed a significant improvement in the water quality over this period. We are constantly monitoring the water conditions and have not had a customer report any adverse symptoms during a tour. 


The algae (Karenia sp.) may cause irritation and short-term symptoms to people including skin irritation, eye irritation, coughing and shortness of breath. If you suffer from asthma we recommend bringing your puffer if you are asthmatic.


Please see the links below for further information regarding the algal bloom.

Please arrive for boarding no later than 15 minutes prior to the boarding time (please check your order for the departure time). Our cruise departure times are sharp. In case of late arrivals or no-shows, your booking will be non-changeable and non-refundable.


Boarding Location: Marina Pier, Glenelg – at the bottom of the stairs/ramp in front of the Oyster Bar. 

 

Temptation is a fully licensed venue, so strictly no BYO. You can however bring food onboard. Temptation is a stable catamaran, therefore the most stable vessel on the water. However, if you are concerned about experiencing sea sickness we recommend purchasing medication from a chemist. We recommend taking 30 minutes prior to the cruise. As this is a boat tour, we recommend wearing suitable clothing.


Temptation Sailing Pty Ltd reserves the right to cancel tours due to inclement weather. We are constantly monitoring the weather forecast and will contact all bookings with as much advance notice as possible if the weather conditions do not permit us to run tours safely. Please note – due to the potential inaccuracies of forecasting and unpredictable nature of the weather, our tours may not be cancelled until immediately before departures in some situations. We strive to avoid this wherever possible, however in some situations it cannot be helped.


Bookings cancelled due to inclement weather conditions will result in a full refund or rescheduling of the booking.


If you wish to cancel your booking due to inclement weather before we make the call, our regular Cancellation Policy will apply.
