Great experience, fun guides!
We've had fun kayaking with Miles for the sunset tour. They take safety seriously while providing plenty of fun and entertainment. Lots of seals to see on the rocks although they were too lazy or busy to swim up to us ;)

Hundreds of dolphins!
We were very fortunate to find a huge pod of dusky dolphins on a morning tour in April. We were able to paddle right through them as they jumped for us and played around our kayaks. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

Thanks for paddling with us Toni! Sounds like you hit the jackpot paddling alongside 100s of Dolphins 🐬🐬

The highlight of my trip
I was lucky enough to be the only one booked in for the sunset kayak, so I got to have Sophie, my guide all to myself and she was absolutely awesome. Very informative and very cool to talk to. I got to learn quite a few things about seals that i never knew. My favourite was getting to see a seal playing around in the water. That was way cool!!! I definately recommend anyone to do it. You'll love every moment of it like I did.
