Hello! We are Temptation Sailing
About
Temptation’ is a 58-foot sailing catamaran operating 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 the first vessel in South Australia to be given a dolphin swim licence and has been conducting successful wild dolphin swims from Glenelg, South Australia, since January 2002. Over many years, we have developed a relationship with the Adelaide dolphin population and our Wild Dolphin Tour is possibly the only cruise of its type where we don’t go to the dolphins, they come to us!

2 months agoI 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.

3 weeks agoWe 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.

3 months agoJust 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.

a month agoTemptations 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).
