At the indicated time, we'll meet at McLaren Wharf in Port Adelaide and begin this cruise. Prepare to experience the natural beauty and rich history of Adelaide’s waterways.

Upon boarding, our adventure around the Adelaide coast will start. We will enjoy stunning views as our guide shares local history and details about the famous ships encountered during the trip.

The Port Adelaide River has a rich maritime past as a trading hub. While sailing, we will observe notable shipwrecks and landmarks, learning about their stories. We will see large wrecks partially submerged in the Port River.
