Aaron & Chelsea were good guides. It was a little hard for everyone to hear the spiel from the guides but I think this is the nature of the activity. They were good at keeping track of everyone but didn't have us too crowded up, we could enjoy the experience. We were lucky to see heaps of dolphins before we left the boat ramp and while paddling.

Fantastic activity. We spent the full 3 hours out kayaking. Great demonstrations and safety info provided at the start. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was so friendly to everyone. Saw lots of dolphins and really enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend.

An excellent experience with an excellent guide, we learnt quite a bit about the history of this area and the ship graveyard from Kelahn, he's a very informative and extremely fun tour guide. Would absolutely visit again!
