Was such a nice night when we left, the weather was good and was definitely chilly by the time we got out there- pack a jacket!
We got a good spot up the front (even though we got lost and thought we wouldn’t make it!)
But get there early if you want a good spot, would not recommend sitting right up the front. When the boat hits the water, this is where it goes! So the people who sat right up the front, got quite wet 😂
The staff were so friendly and offered to take pictures for everyone which was so nice! We didn’t see any dolphins unfortunately but the views and sunset were enough.
Would definitely recommend if you want to try something different.

My partner and I had a truly wonderful time on our twilight cruise last night.
From start to finish was brilliant.
Staff are fabulous and make you feel very relaxed and comfortable.
The view is stunning along our coastline and OMG that sunset 🌇
Wind in your hair sipping champagne 🍾 spotting dolphins 🐬 watching a stunning sunset with your loved one. What a perfect night 🧡
I would highly recommend it to everyone. 10/10 👍

Surprised my son for his 16th birthday yesterday morning to do the Wild Dolphin Swim whilst I did the Dolphin Tour (essentially I spectated my son/the swimmers and dolphins from the boat)!!
Wow - seriously wow - even being a spectator was amazing - it certainly helped having perfect conditions, water like glass, not a breath of wind and 38+ degrees!
However what I loved about this whole experience was that the crew mentioned they have all studied marine biology, they are super knowledgeable and super respectful to the wildlife dolphins - thank you - that makes it more of an educational experience to learn about these beautiful mammals rather than being out on the boat for sheer entertainment - my son and I both loved it!! And to think this is all in our own backyard - thank you team - well done and keep up the fabulous work - look forward to returning again with the rest of the family!!

It was an exceptional experience. I took my friends on an afternoon tea cruise. We were a group of 14, and one of my friends was scared and prone to seasickness, but the experience was remarkable as the speed and stability of the vessel alleviated any discomfort. 👍
The crew on board was very experienced and friendly. Also we’re happy to see a couples of Dolphins 🐬 swimming around. I was impressed with the selection of food and beverages available at the bar.
The only disappointment was that one of our friends missed the departure, arriving late as the yacht was already leaving. I acknowledge that this was not the operator's fault, as they clearly stated the departure time as 12:30 and boarding at 12:15. Nevertheless, we had a great time, and I highly recommend Temptation Sailing. 🛥️🥂🩵🌺👍

We had an incredible time with Temptation Sailing! Easy to book, very professional on the day. All the staff are Marine Biologists who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a gorgeous day on the water, water was clear and we saw heaps of beautiful Dolphins, big pods swimming all around the catamaran.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Thanks guys, we will definitely be coming with you again.

We were lucky to meet so many dolphins on the day.
However, something really needs to improve is the TOILET, im not be able to use it properly as it's hygiene and smell issues. It would benice if it can be improved and fixed.

Music was too loud and dominated the mood of the cruise, call me old fashion but I still prefer to mingle with conversation not having to compete with loud music.
The toilets where unsanitary and the boat would should be shut down via the health and safety commission, not clean and smelt awful, I dare not use them and waited till docked.
Staff where not dressed as should , they looked like Stow-aways. Not every one has a personality or likes their job and this was clear via the staff on this cruise. By the 60 minute mark most people were looking at there watch awaiting it to be over lol I was in good company with a dear friend , if not for this I probably would of walked the plank to get off that thing.

Get there first so you can get a seat on the cushions on the front of the boat!
Super friendly highly informative staff who will do anything for you to make your trip enjoyable. They explain at all times what's going on and why.
We didn't do the water dolphin experience where you get in the water - glad I didn't actually as you see more or less the same on the boat !
Looked cold ????
Really enjoyed this and loved seeing the dolphins who swam alongside the boat really close.
When the suns out it's a sun trap out there and I burnt my feet !! So cover up or slap the sunscreen on.
Well worth a trip

Temptations were great, and Quinn was very knowledgeable. He was happy to answer all my questions, even the ones about the collapsed Glenelg pier. I would recommend this to anyone. If you just do the watching experience, I would recommend getting a spot right up front on the left or right. The dolphins get so close that you can almost touch them (but you aren't allowed to touch them).

Lovely team who enjoys spending some time talking with people on board about dolphins and different marine creatures. You can see that they love what they are doing!
The catamaran is very big and can host up to 50 people. The group is split so that everyone can take turns going front/back swim with the dolphins. You need to know how to swim.
There are no drinks or food on board, but you can bring your own food. Toilets are very tiny and wet and can clog easily, so I suggest getting there mentally prepared.
The team takes pictures and videos of everything, so for an extra $25, they will send you an email with everything.
I really enjoyed the experience, and I highly recommend it.

I would highly recommend the dolphins watching/swimming experience. It was absolutely breathtaking. The dolphins were super close and at times only a feet or two away when we were on the swimming nets.
It was absolutely surreal. I felt like I was watching a vertical reality video when watching the dolphins from the net whilst under the water.
We were fortunate enough to interact with 2 pods of dolphins and see a few smaller groups of dolphins swimming along the way as well.
The crew were lovely and so informative and welcoming. It did take a little bit to find the second group of dolphins to interact with, but it was so worth the wait - as it gave everyone some time to enjoy the views, company and boat ride.
Would definitely recommend.

Just loved the sunset cruise ……it was a beautiful night with lovely sunset and calm seas.
We motored down towards Seacliff and as we turned around the crew hoisted the sail to head slowly towards home - just delightful.
The boat has a good vibe - friendly and relaxed crew and music playing. Plenty of drink options on board. On a night like this it’s hard not to enjoy the cruise …….you also get a great view of the beach and the houses along the coast.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic morning on the water off Adelaide. Saw in excess of 40 individual dolphins right up close. Dolphins in the wild, no feeding, on their terms not ours. Great information from the 4 Marine Biologists on board. Great South Australian weather!! Must be one of the top tours to do in Adelaide.
We didn't swim, but we will next time

Would highly recommend the dolphin tour! I have never seen so many dolphins up close and personal. I like how the company are mindful not intrude on the dolphins natural habitat but rather the dolphins choose to swim by the boat as they are very curious and playful. The staff are wonderful and clearly have all have a strong passion for marine life and conservation. Overall a great experience!

Went on twilight 90minute Temptation cruise on 5th April.
Impressed with the friendly and competent staff onboard the catamaran. Made to feel welcome from start of the cruise. We both enjoyed the antipasto platter to share and drinks.
Brilliant cruise down to Seacliff. On returning to the Marina appreciated the sun setting into the sea.
Would definitely highly recommend this cruise. A big thank you to all at Temptation Sailing.
