OUR TOURS

Our Cruises FAQs

Find answers to common questions about choosing a cruise, booking ahead, accessibility, families and what to expect onboard.

Which cruise should I choose?

Choose a public cruise for dolphins and maritime history, or a private charter for a customised group experience. Each cruise card shows the route, duration and inclusions.

Are the cruises suitable for first-time visitors?

Yes. Our guided cruises are an easy way to discover Port Adelaide’s wildlife, maritime stories and river scenery.

How long are the public cruises?

Current public cruise options run for approximately 90 minutes or two hours. Check the selected cruise card for its exact duration.

Should I book in advance?

Advance booking is recommended, particularly for weekends, holidays and larger groups, because departures can sell out.

What should I bring?

Bring weather-appropriate layers, sun protection and a camera. Flat, comfortable footwear is recommended.

Are toilets available onboard?

Yes, toilets are available onboard our vessels.

Are cruises accessible for guests with limited mobility?

The 16-seat vessel is wheelchair accessible with no steps required for boarding. A manual, non-mechanical wheelchair is available by prior arrangement. The 100-seat vessel cannot accommodate wheelchairs because of its boarding configuration, and mechanical or electric wheelchairs cannot currently be used. Please contact us before booking so we can confirm the accessible vessel.

Can children and families join?

Yes, families are welcome on our public cruises. Check the selected cruise’s ticket options and age requirements when booking.

Is food or drink available onboard?

Food and drink arrangements vary by experience. Review the selected cruise details or contact our team before booking.

What happens if weather affects my cruise?

Safety comes first. If we need to change or cancel a cruise, our team will contact affected guests about the available rebooking or refund options.
