A MUST DO!
Andy and the boys are extremely helpful and patient. Anyone with or without experience can do this tour as they explained everything and provided help when needed. They know the area so well and they are very knowledgeable of tides and winds to make sure we were all safe. We were lucky to be able to taste an oyster that they just caught from the rocks and also a small fruit from a nearby shrub. Will do it again without hesitation.
