They were so friendly and helpful, on the phone and in person!

The ride was quite relaxing, and we got to see the pelicans up close, which was nice. The glass boats were also an interesting attraction.

I would just point out for anyone’s benefit that the price has went up to $25, and it’s always good to call in advance to ensure availability.

My family and I had a fabulous time on the Captain Jolleys Paddle Boats! We booked our time in advance which was so easy and the staff member was friendly and expecting us when we arrived. The boats were clean and it was so much fun paddling around the River Torrens. I would highly recommend this activity to any family or couple.

The perfect was to spend 30 minutes paddling around the Torrens. Friendly efficient service and for only $20 totally worth it.

This is one of the few boating places in Adelaide. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Elder Park, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide Oval, The City Bridge, etc.on both sides of the river from a new perspective by playing a pedal boat on the widest part of the Torrens River.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The yellow boat is suitable for two people, and the blue boat can accommodate up to two adults and two children. Half an hour passed quickly, and the children enjoyed the experience very much. We will come again.

Great little spot, kids loved it. Can get a bit hot this time of year, but there are shady spots. Friendly and helpful staff.

Definitely worth the 20$ you spend, Good for couples, parents accompanying kids and all age groups.

The staff was so generous to not charge extra for paddling 20 minutes extra past the scheduled time as it was not busy. Would definitely recommend it.

Best $40 (for 2 boats) we’ve spent on entertainment this holiday! Kids loved it, so much fun and great for better photos on the water! Black swans and baby ducks swam right up to us, got a great close look at a massive penguin.

Wonderful way to see Adelaide, well maintained paddle boats, and a fun date activity! The staff were also super helpful - I accidently booked two boats and they refunded me without question once the mistake was noted and my car keys slipped out of my bag during the trip, and the staff chased me down to return them - very grateful! Thank you Captain Jolley's - was a pleasure!:)

What a fantastic way to see the beautiful and iconic sites of Adelaide!
We had an amazing time, taking leisurely paddle and enjoying the bird life.
The staff were friendly and charismatic. Definitely worth the experience
Also a great way to spend the day with the kids outside. Two thumbs up

I had to give one star only because There is no option for 0.
Attendant at the kiosk was impolite and treated us like if we were a burden to him. There were 8 paddle boats available but he said they were all booked out (clearly lying and obviously no interest in doing his job) but in fact they weren’t! Don’t ever go to them. The stinky attitude of him will put you off!

A must-do Adelaide experience. We had a lovely time peddling around the Torrens, saw some cute ducklings and a pelican close up. Really friendly staff and good value.

Had a great time on the paddleboats from Captain Jolleys Paddle Boats on the iconic River Torrens. Staff were helpful and friendly and the boats were clean and efficient. We then had a great ride on Popeye. Highly recommend.:)

Website says it closes at 6. Arrived at 5: 20 and were told they were closed. Obviously wanted an early night. Not good enough.

Disappointed. Website states it opens at 9: 30am, however 45 mins later we were able to get on a paddle boat. A complete disrespect for people time. I only waiting as my 8 year old son was looking forward to having his first ride on one. Not good enough.
