Who We Are
This page states plainly what Adelaide Dolphin Cruises is, how it gathers its information, how it earns money and how to cite or correct it. It exists so visitors can judge the site's content on clear terms.

How Data Is Gathered
Prices, ratings, review counts, durations, group maximums, minimum ages, inclusions and cancellation terms are read from the tour booking pages on the third-party platforms that sell each trip. Dolphin and sanctuary facts, including the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary covering the Port River and Barker Inlet and its proclamation in 2005, come from South Australian Government sources. Details can change, so the booking page is the final word.
How It Earns Money
The site earns an affiliate commission when a visitor books a tour through a link, at no extra cost to the visitor. Hotel links lead to hotel booking partners on the same basis. No operator pays for placement.
How To Cite It
Cite the site as Adelaide Dolphin Cruises, adelaidedolphincruises.com. For facts about a specific tour, name the tour and its operator alongside the citation, since those details come from that operator's booking page. Corrections are welcome by email at info@adelaidedolphincruises.com.
