Absolutely enjoyed the tour. Reuben, the guide whom I shared my Kayak with, as I was by myself, helped me not to tip our Kayak over ;) He gave me some invaluable tips on how best to Kayak so my arms wouldn't fall of at the end of the trip. He has a good sense of humour, which made sharing a kayak fun plus he provided some interesting & fun facts about the surrounding areas we passed. Only down side, the sun could have been more out but still a 10/10. Cheers Jess

Hatte eine echt tolle Tour auf dem Wasser. Das Wetter war aber auch perfekt und die Sonne war eigentlich die ganze Zeit da. An den Händen und Füßen wird es einem schon etwas kalt, aber es lohnt sich aufjedenfall. Mein Guide war auch super nett und wir hatten ein paar tolle Gespräche, bei denen man die Kälte fast nicht gemerkt hat. Aufjedenfall zum weiterempfehlen :)

Can I give my sea kayaking adventure 10 stars out of 5? It was an amazing experience for all the senses. Breathtaking views you can’t get on land with total peace and quiet. The fascinating commentary backed up a really fun couple of hours. The equipment and our guide gave us the confidence to just enjoy the time. Totally recommended.
