Fabulous experience

Our Kayaking experience was perfect. Great guide ( thanks Abbey), still water and little breeze. The conditions were marvellous and the scenery terrific. Such a great way to spend 3 hours of the day. This tour is totally recommended. Unfortunately we only saw one dolphin, before we started, but they were around!

Perfect morning

This tour company is great. Don't know what their group size max is but ours was 4 double kayaks with the guide. Our guide Tom was personable and interacted with the whole group. Efficient instructions on setting up the kayak and demo about how to use the paddles. Pace was great and he knew his info about the area and freely admitted if he didn't. Had a great time and would highly recommend
