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.

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.



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 👍

Unfortunately unable to rebook as not staying in this area for long.



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!!
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. 🛥️🥂🩵🌺👍


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


Beautiful sunset, happy and friendly staff
Would highly recommend this short boat trip


Increible la experiencia, no es caro la atencion es muy buena, uno si ve los delfines bien de cerca la verdad, vale mucho la pena lo recontra recomiendo


The crew were determined and patient with persistence for all customers to have 2 great dolphin experiences. We really appreciated their diligence. They were friendly and informative.


communicate to each other. Highlight of our trip and well worth doing. Staff very friendly.

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.
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.
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



Not too badly priced for such a great experience.



Thanks a lot for the great day.
















As an Adelaidian this is an inexpensive treat and one I love sharing with other locals and visitors alike.






We were very lucky with the weather - no wind, blue skies and calm seas - and lots of dolphins. Our best part was the net at the front of the catamaran where you see the dolphins doing what they like best - surfing the bow waves.




Staff are great????

Staff are great


Knowledgeable, Courteous, Patient
Plan to come back with our kids for a swim

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.
