Fab day out

We had a lovely day trip out. Sadly we didn’t see any penguins but that was made up for ten fold by the fact we saw wild dolphins and sea lions! The lovely girl who was the spokesperson on the cruise was totally fab! Very funny and very knowledgable! We highly recommend this trip :)

A very worthwhile adventure.

The staff were very friendly, inclusive and incredibly knowledgeable. We didn't see many dolphins and zero penguins but it was still a very worthwhile adventure. I took two of my grandchildren, including my 13 year old grandson who is usually not keen to leave his computer. It was clear he enjoyed the adventure too. Thank you all for a special day.

Bit disappointing

Saw only a few sea lions on a beach. No offer of a repeat trip if you saw no dolphins etc. Glads bottom boat was gross and old.

Penguin island

Loved our little trip, didn’t see any penguins but boat cruise made the afternoon, we saw sea lions playing, dolphins, lots of pelicans and an Osprey, beautiful bird. Weather as always was amazing.
