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:

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.
