    Our guide Elijah was great explaining everything well. Fantastic experience with a seal claiming my daughter and I by repeatedly swimming around and beneath us and looking us in the eyes. Absolutely surreal ! Many seals watching us from the rocks and 1 sea lion lazing there too. Our boat captured the attention of a pod of dolphins that circled, jumped and dived under at close range.

    While the skipper and his crewman were very obliging, they really didn't explain very well how the swimming being towed behind the boat whilst holding a rope was going to work. It was very challenging using mask and goggles that were fogging up to enjoy the experience. Overall we felt like we had been through a ship wreck when we finally made it back to shore wet and cold.
