Description
Do you love seeing animals in their natural habitat? Are you a dolphin ‘fin’atic? If so, the Temptation Sailing Dolphin Swim is an absolute must-do adventure for you! Be immersed in the spectacular ocean scenery and completely mesmerised at all the beautiful creatures of the sea. This amazing nature cruise is one of Australia's best kept secrets and will grant you access to a world few have experienced.
Temptation Sailing has been operating in Glenelg, South Australia, since 2002 and was the first vessel in the state to be given a dolphin swim license. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Dolphin Swim’s staff – and with many cruises under their belt – they have managed to achieve a one of a kind situation on their swims – the boat doesn’t need to take you to the dolphins, because the dolphins come to you!
Dolphins, by nature, are very energetic, fascinating and curious creatures and seem to love human interaction. The Temptation Sailing Cruise offers you a chance to meet and greet these fantastic mammals, closer than you thought possible. The Amazing opportunity to swim with dolphins is a rare occurrence and should be grasped with both hands – this is an outing that you will remember forever.
This adventure is safe for the whole family, as the buoyant rope that is trailed behind the boat keeps you afloat and all you need to do is grab on. The 58 foot giant sailing catamaran – aptly named "Temptation" – is a sensational vessel and adds a beautiful perspective to your adventure. As you board this stunning ship, be welcomed in by the extremely friendly and very professional crew, who show a gleeful enthusiasm towards every adventure they undertake. These guys really love nature – particularly their sea dwelling mates, whom they have made a part of their lifes – and this love of nature shines through in their work and is totally contagious, making your experience a once in a lifetime journey!
