You meet the boat at the Emu Bay jetty or the Bay of Shoals boat ramp. Kangaroo Island Marine Adventures texts you the day before to confirm which.
Out on the water, the dolphin swim specialist guides look for wild dolphins. Once they find them, you pull on a wetsuit and snorkel gear and get in. Swims are always in safe, shallow waters and a hydrophone lets you listen to the dolphins from the boat.
The coast is part of the trip. You may see seals, sea eagles and osprey from the boat, and the guides point out fossil beds and talk through the history of Kangaroo Island. Wetsuits and snorkelling gear are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own. Tea, coffee and biscuits are on board. Bring a water bottle and any other food you want.
There are no change rooms at either departure point, so wear your swimmers under your clothes. Bay of Shoals has a toilet at the boat ramp. At Emu Bay, the nearest toilets are about 300 metres from the jetty, at the playground and barbecue area.
Children 13 and under are welcome and priced separately. Shared tours join other guests. A private tour needs at least eight people, up to 15.
The season closes for winter from 1 June to 31 August. Tell us your date and how many of you are coming, and we’ll put your request to Kangaroo Island Marine Adventures, then confirm once it’s locked in.
Head out along Kangaroo Island's rugged north-west coast aboard Radikal, an eight-metre Zodiac, for a full day on the water. This stretch is largely left alone, and you go as a citizen scientist rather than a spectator: helping to document the wildlife, and learning the geology and the conservation work underway as you go.
Weather permitting, you'll snorkel the shallow reefs, where you might meet Australian sea-lions, long-nosed fur seals, dolphins, and the Western Blue Groper. The 5 and a half hour day is capped at eight guests, with a lunch and afternoon tea of local produce somewhere in the middle of it.
A full day on the water. Part expedition, part contribution, on one of the wildest parts of the island.

Your phone gives you a clue, not an itinerary. Follow it to Kangaroo Island Providore first, then on from there — each stop run by someone who made what they're handing you. Solve the last clue and you're done. A picnic spot with a view, and the rest of the afternoon is yours.
