5.00We loved the sea kayaking experience, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They gave great instructions and gave us all of the equipment we needed for the trip. It was amazing to be kayaking in the ocean, seeing the seals and many different birds. Overall, it was a wonderful and very fun experience, and I highly recommend this activity.
Brilliant kayaking experience

5.00After a thorough safety talk and guidance about technique and equipment we set out to see the seals. 2 guides were with our group of adults and a family group had a guide to themselves. They were great, attentive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were fortunate with the weather and saw the seals both in the sea and basking on the rocks. We were also lucky enough to get a visit from around 7 dolphins, swimming around and under our kayaks. Magical!
Brilliant afternoon

4.00We were in a big group because of the rain (the other tours were canceled and put together). Everything took a bit longer because of that. The guides were really nice and knew a lot about the wild life. It was a really nice experience! We were happy to see a group of dolphins!
Great fun little afternoon excursion out on the water.

5.00There weren't that many seals but we did get to see an octopus, just that sorta day. The guides were absolutely lovely and the kayaking itself was brilliant fun. Enough of a work out to fully justify a steak and a beer afterwards and reminded me of the buzz of good exercise in the water. Probably getting back into swimming or taking up Kayaking when I get home now. Thanks guys 😃
Awesome

5.00Excellent experience, waves and rocks made for a little more technical paddle. Guides were friendly and fun and put safety first. We saw dolphins and seals and a multitude of birds. Scenery was fabulous.
Spectacular views of the mountains and the wild life.

5.00A great way to spend a couple of hours. Guaranteed to see seals, but we also found some dolphins. The ride from the meeting point to the shore only takes a few minutes. We had two guides (Holt and Grace) who would have split the group in two, if there were different levels of fitness and paddling ability but that was not necessary. The Kayaks felt very stable, and we did not get wet.
