Hai(!)light
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Ausflug bei bestem Wetter. Während der Tour haben wir Pinguine, Delfine und einen Hai gesehen und konnten während der 1.5h Pause Schwimmen, Kajak und Paddleboard fahren und Schnorcheln - alles mit Seelöwen direkt neben uns im Wasser. Diese Tour ist jeden Cent wert und die nette Crew rundet das Erlebnis perfekt ab :)

Ha the only part I understand is that you have gone to the trouble of making a review and that it is a great 5star review also. The crew work really hard to make the day awesome. So thank you for taking the time. Safe travels and Merry Xmas from us

Had a great time.
Didn't see many animals, apparently the slightly rough conditions meant we were unlikely to see as many. Still had a great time, and saw a single dolphin.

Very cool crew
Very cool day on the water, Brandon and Amy were great hosts, knowledgeable and good fun. Lots of sea life playing around us which was incredible to see, but also nice to see how respectful of them the guides were. Went kayaking for part of the day as well which was another way to experience the place and definitely worth the extra bit paid. Would highly recommend.

Super!
Es war ein super schöner Tag. Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen und auch viele interessante Infos zum Ozean und den Bewohnern bekommen. Die Crew war super cool und hat auch Tips zu den SUPs und den Kajaks gegeben. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder machen
