Temptation Sailing

Things to do glenelg , holdfast bay , south australia.

Temptation is a 58-foot sailing catamaran which operates only 15 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD. Temptation Sailing offers a variety of products including Wild Dolphin Swim/Watch Tours, Twilight Cruises, Afternoon Tea Cruises and Private Charters.

Temptation is surveyed to hold up to 50 passengers and is an extremely stable and spacious vessel. ‘Temptation’ contains a fully licensed bar, a spacious furnished cabin and a 360 degree viewing deck.

Temptation is the first vessel in South Australia to be given a dolphin swim license and has been conducting successful wild dolphin swims in Glenelg, South Australia since January 2002. Over many years, we have developed a relationship with the dolphins of Adelaide and this is possibly the only cruise of its type where we don’t go to the dolphins, they come to us!

Sit back, relax and enjoy a panoramic view of Adelaide’s stunning coastline while sipping on a beverage from their licenced bar stocking local beer and wine.

As they cruise, listen to some light music and soak in the sunshine over the water with your friends, family and their amazing crew.

Return to the Glenelg Marina Pier, which is one of Adelaide’s best outdoor dining destinations hosting a variety of incredible restaurants and bars.

Disabled Access

From $139 to $149

Temptation Sailing invites you to swim alongside wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Dolphins are one of the Earth’s most fascinating, curious and interactive species. Our advanced eco certified Wild Dolphin Tours are hosted by our amazing team of marine biologists who will educate and assist you throughout the tour. An incredible experience you will never forget!

We offer two different swim experiences during our Wild Dolphin Tour, a Front Swim and a Back Swim. On a typical day, all swimmers should get the opportunity to try both swims, however some days swimmers may only get the opportunity to try one. Our goal is to get all swimmers to see a dolphin underwater so please know how friendly staff will do their best to make this happen.

Front Swim Experience: Lay down and feel as if you’re a part of the dolphin pod, our Front Swim is an experience you don’t want to miss!

Back Swim Experience: Submerge yourself in the water with our Back Swim Experience, an amazing way to view wild dolphins in their natural habitat.

Sit down, relax and watch Wild Dolphins from front of Temptation and enjoy their 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 their knowledgeable Marine Biologists educate and explain the interactions with the 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 or you will get a full refund (direct bookings only).

It is important to remember that all of the dolphins you see on their tours are completely wild and every interaction is different. They do not do anything to attract them and they choose to swim with you on their own free will.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a panoramic view of Adelaide’s stunning coastline while sipping on a beverage from our licenced bar stocking local beer and wine. As we cruise, listen to some light music and soak in the sunshine over the water with your friends, family and our amazing crew.

Return to the Glenelg Marina Pier, which is one of Adelaide’s best outdoor dining destinations hosting a variety of incredible restaurants and bars. Head up to our favourite gin bar Junipers on the Marina for gin specials pre or post tour!
