Beautiful speedboat. Good warm thermal diving suits + thermos, gloves, shoes and flippers. The water was quite cold, but we easily lasted more than half an hour. The seals were not that active, but we were still able to meet some of them up close. Really cool. Snorkeling through the kelp was also particularly beautiful! You don't have to be afraid of sharks. The water is shallow but above all too cold for them. The crew was great. We were helped to climb into the boat. They poured hot water into our suit and gave us hot chocolate milk on the way back. Sailing there was a fun experience!

After a really cool ride in a hard shell inflatable boat, we reached our spot. The beautiful animals came within a few meters so that they could really be admired up close. Beautiful flora and very dedicated guides. The best thing: On the way back we saw a whale and a baby whale! Highly Recommended!

Fantastic experience to see those sweet fur seals underwater. Don't be put off by the cold water because the neoprene suits really keep you nice and warm! I was afraid that the seals might also bite, but that fear turned out to be completely unfounded. I would say, don't hesitate, just book!
