We had an amazing morning with Louis at the helm and our guide Demi. They were incredibly patient with the kids (and adults) the equipment was in great shape and the size range of wetsuits offered was impressive from kids to big adults everyone was accommodated. The swim was brilliant. We were lucky enough to have warm water. Loads of active seals and amazing visibility. When my little one got unhappy in the water Demi helped her to the boat and Louis watched her on the boat for the rest of the swim. Thanks for an amazing adventure.
I highly recommend it
