Området nu kendt som Port Adelaide var traditionelt beboet af Kaurna-folket, som også besatte Adelaide-sletten, Barossa-dalen, den vestlige side af Fleurieu-halvøen og nordpå forbi Snowtown. Kaurna-folket kaldte Port Adelaide-området Yartapuulti, og flodmundingsområdet Yertabulti, som betyder 'søvnens eller dødens land'. Port Adelaide blev grundlagt af europæiske bosættere den 6. januar 1837, selvom det oprindeligt var kendt under titlen Port Creek Settlement. Skibsfarten begyndte en måned efter grundlæggelsen, selvom den på det tidspunkt var uegnet for store skibe, der i stedet måtte lande ved Holdfast Bay, indtil havnen blev chartret.
Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary er en af perlerne i Adelaides storbyområde. Beliggende kun 20 minutter fra Adelaide, er denne marinepark hjemsted for omkring 30 fastboende flaskenæsedelfiner, med yderligere 400 forbigående delfiner, der besøger på forskellige tidspunkter. Disse vilde delfiner kommer her for at fodre, lege, socialisere og amme deres kalve. Inde i helligdommen finder du en 10.000 år gammel mangroveskov, samt strandgræs, saltmarsk, flodbølger og tidevandsbække, som alle giver levesteder og føde til delfinerne. Sanctuary er en del af South Australias største havn og har en række aboriginale og europæiske kulturelle og historiske steder af interesse. Området er også et populært fuglekiggeri og deler det meste af sit nordlige kysthabitat med Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary.
Clipper Ship City of Adelaide er verdens ældste clipper-skib. Bygget i Sunderland, England, og søsat den 7. maj 1864. City of Adelaide blev bygget af William Pile, Hay og Co. til transport af passagerer og varer mellem Storbritannien og Australien. Mellem 1864 og 1887 foretog skibet 23 årlige returrejser fra London og Plymouth til Adelaide, South Australia. I denne periode spillede hun en vigtig rolle i immigrationen af Australien. På returrejserne transporterede hun passagerer, uld og kobber fra Adelaide og Port Augusta til London.
Osborne Naval Shipyard er et flerbrugeranlæg i Osborne på Lefevre-halvøen i det sydlige Australien. Det blev etableret i 1987 for Australian Submarine Corporation, og de første produkter fra anlægget var de seks Collins-Class ubåde.

Loved the experience. We went with my 92 year old dad who has fond memories of swimming in the Port River as a teenager and was amazed at all the changes along the river. We were also lucky to see dolphins.
We had a great time. very informative. the crew was fantastic. Great Boat that was easy to get on and off. It was great to see the Dolphins
What a lovely time we had. Traveling the Port River on a cruise with Port River Cruises. The crew was great and very knowledgeable. Not the greatest of days regarding the weather but we did see a couple of dolphins and many birds. Highly recommended.
We were lucky enough to see dolphins up so close. A very informative tour, the time seemed to fly by. Well worth the money.
Thank you so much!
Nice experience, too bad not to have seen the penguins.belle the carcasses of the ships and beautiful story told by the captain of bordo.i pelicans were many and ate continuously na we did not see the dolphins
Thank you for the great review!
The trip was well organized and the skipper was very friendly and had a lot to tell. At the beginning you drive through the harbor and can look at old sailing boats and boats that are being restored. Then you drive into the estuary and first see old ships in the "ship graveyard". There are also supposed to be dolphins in this area. Since the number of dolphins in this region is manageable, it seems to be down to luck that you get to see any. Unfortunately we didn't see any. We wouldn't do the trip again, there was too much harbor and too little nature for us.
A dolphin cruise (cost $80) that sees no dolphins ... in an area that's basically the cess pool of years of industry - beautiful day to be on the river - but I counted $1440 made (ie 18 X $80) on a "Dolphin tour" that didn't see one single dolphin ... clearly the extremely low tide was the reason... Tides are recorded and known well before the date - why then offer tours when tide is extremely low. Disgusted and appalled this operator can get away with it... I was even told to move out of my seat...
Thank you for the review. We're sorry you did not enjoy your time on our Maritime and Dolphins Cruise. As is listed in our tour description this is a tour on the maritime history and present day rejuvenation of Port Adelaide as well as visiting the Dolphin Sanctuary. Port Adelaide is a working Port (as listed in the description) and our guests enjoy learning about the day to day life in the Port and seeing it in action. Our photos are all taken from within the area and show clearly exactly what you were to see on tour and that while the Port is a working dock it is by no means a 'cess pool'. In regards to dolphins, we can understand how disappointing it is to not see dolphins but these are wild animals and we can not make guarantees on their presence. The tides in no way effect when and where the dolphins will be present. They are just as likely to be within the sanctuary during low tide as they are in high and we see them equally frequently in both (as seen in reviews for our Dolphin and Ships Graveyard tour where low tide is the most popular time for tours to run). It’s a shame you couldn’t take anything away from the significant information and history you were provided with but we also understand that you can’t please everyone all of the time. We pride ourselves in highlighting one of South Australia’s heritage precinct and this tour provides the perfect platform to learn and engage in Port Adelaide’s maritime history.
