Set sail from Glenelg’s Marina Pier on Temptation and spend the morning with the wild dolphins that live in the waters off Adelaide. Temptation runs eco-tourism certified dolphin swim and watch cruises from Glenelg, about 15 minutes by car from the Adelaide CBD, and was the first vessel in South Australia to be given a licence to swim with and study the dolphins. You choose how close you want to get. On the Dolphin Watch option you stay on board, enjoy the 360-degree view as you walk around the boat and watch the dolphins playing on the bow, only a few feet away from you and your camera. On the Dolphin Swim option you get into the water to swim with wild dolphins, with wetsuits, snorkels and masks provided. The cruise departs from Marina Pier at Holdfast Shores Marina in Glenelg at 08:00 and returns there at 12:00, so it fits easily into a day in Adelaide. Bring a hat, sunscreen and a camera, and swimwear and a towel if you are swimming. Swimmers must be aged 9 or over, while the watch cruise welcomes younger children travelling with a paying adult.
