Beaches, Bays and Seals Guided Kayaking trip

5.00We did the 7 hour Beaches, Bays and Seals Guided Kayaking trip and it was incredible! I'm not the most confident in open water, but I felt so safe in the kayak and our guide Mo was fantastic. The scenery was breathtaking and seeing the seals and Dolphins was spectacular. My favourite trip of our honeymoon!! Thank you!

5.00Excellent time. Although it was raining when we arrived and thought we would not enjoy kayaking in the rain, it cleared up and the bonus was that there was no one else there at Split apple Rock. We had individual tour with Emma who was excellent and looked after us very well. First time I had been kayaking, so apprehensive but Emma reassuring, knowledgable and put me at ease. She also took excellent photos of us. many thanks. Can highly recommend.
