Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary and Ships Graveyard Kayak hire

We hire kayaks and SUPs from the Garden Island boat ramp in the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary and Ships Graveyard…the best location for paddling in Adelaide. We are the only provider in Adelaide to supply kayaks at the water's edge! You can search for dolphins, explore the beautiful mangrove creeks and Ships Graveyard Maritime Heritage Trail with your family or friends. We will have the craft ready for you at the launch site, help you set up, supply a map and advice on best spots and safe paddling-you then create your own unique adventure! The hire fee is for a 2-seater kayak, 2x life vests and 2x paddles for a three hour session beginning at the time indicated on the booking. You can use the whole time or a shorter time if you choose. This service includes some time for assisting you in setting up the equipment and explaining essential safety and local area information, depending on you past experience this could be 10 to 30 minutes. We recommend that you have had some prior experience but it is not essential. Due to legal reasons we cannot hire to persons under the age of 18 years unless accompanied by an adult. You will need to bring: Clothing to suit the temperature of the daya shady hat and sunscreenshoes/sandals that may get wet(bare feet or thongs are not suitable)insect repellent drink and snack A CAMERA! We can supply a waterproof container . Find us at: Garden Island Boat Ramp and Reserve, Lot 204 Garden Island Road, Gillman Getting to Garden Island: Most people drive out to Garden Island. Unfortunately public transport doesn't travel to Garden Island. There are regular train and bus services to Port Adelaide and we can provide a transfer out to the kayaking and return for $10 per person...much cheaper than a taxi! However if you are a small group of 4 or more a taxi will be cheaper. Please note We hire our kayaks to people who have adequate skills, knowledge and experience to safely complete the activity. This does not necessarily mean that you have had a kayak lesson but that you are aware of the challenges of physical activity and exploring a natural area that is not supervised/managed. We limit where you can explore for your own safety and our management. If you do not follow our guidelines and experience difficulty we may not be able to assist in your rescue and as such you are primarily responsible for your own safety and welfare including self rescue. In extreme cases we will contact Emergency Services and supply what information we have to aid in your rescue. Our equipment is of highest quality and in great condition and we ask that you look after it and return it in the same condition as supplied. We provide a briefing about safety, basic paddling and the local area as part of our hire service. Any abnormal damage, or loss of equipment will be charged to the hire at replacement value (eg. some kayaks can be up to $4000 AUS). A security deposit may be required to hire equipment. This will be destroyed upon satisfactory return of equipment. If the equipment is damaged, in a dirty condition or lost an appropriate fee determined by the AKSA representative on the day will be charged.
