Wild Dolphin Swim
Highlights
- Swim alongside wild dolphins in their natural habitat, experiencing their curiosity and playfulness up close.
- Immerse yourself in the Front Swim, feeling like part of the dolphin pod for an unforgettable connection.
- Submerge in the Back Swim, gaining a unique underwater perspective of dolphins in their natural environment.
- Join expert marine biologists who educate and assist, enhancing your understanding of these fascinating creatures.
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.

Operation information
Temptation Sailing
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, they have developed a relationship with the dolphins of Adelaide and this is possibly the only cruise of its type where the dolphins come directly to the boat!
