Blaue Stunde

Ein großartiger Trip in den Sonnenuntergang. Supernette guides , klasse Einführung und tolle Erklärungen . Leider waren keine Delfine oder Wale in Sicht aber wir paddelten in eine kleine Bucht und beobachteten die Seals und Pinguine . Jederzeit wieder und weiter zu empfehlen

Great experience, fun guides!

We've had fun kayaking with Miles for the sunset tour. They take safety seriously while providing plenty of fun and entertainment. Lots of seals to see on the rocks although they were too lazy or busy to swim up to us ;)

Hundreds of dolphins!

We were very fortunate to find a huge pod of dusky dolphins on a morning tour in April. We were able to paddle right through them as they jumped for us and played around our kayaks. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!
