  • Amazing!!

    I went with my husband and very nervous 9 yo. He luckily went with one of the guides and he was amazing with him. We saw everything! Whales, up close dolphins, turtles. Unfortunately it got a bit scary as we fell out in the choppy open waters. By then we were a bit exhausted. But they gave us good instructions before hand on what to do and a very calm amazing Belgian instructor came to help. We fell out again as waves were getting bigger and boat was filling up with water and made the kayak unstable. He very calmly helped us again and swapped boats and got us out with the help of an other instructor. He handled the situation so well. He was directional, calm under pressure and confident and that put us at ease. Overall great experience.

    The moment you arrive the guides are informative helpful and kind. The tour itself was wonderful. The water is so clean and clear you can see easily see any wildlife that’s in your area. We also did a slight ocean wave catching and the guides were very helpful with our inexperienced visitors. All in all for the price one was extremely satisfied. Thank you for the tour. Highly recommend.

  • Amazing trip ! Got to see...

    Amazing experience! The kayaking alone is fun and the sights are beautiful but there's a very high chance of seeing dolphins which makes it even more special. If no dolphins are seen then they allow you to rebook anytime in the future for free! The staff are all amazing and very funny - can't fault anything with this trip
