Great family day - We forgot a towel and it was raining. The wetsuits kept you comfortable but a towel at the end would have been nice. The kayak itself was very enjoyable. Danny did a great job explaining everything before we started and stayed with the group without having to the reins too tight. Would highly recommend recommend.

Majestic - Such a majestic awesome experience. A full 2 hours on the water paddling around the bay. It has to be the very best way to see how clear the water is and feel a connection with such a unique location. Highly recommended

Kayaking and wildlife observing - We basically had a private tour, since it was still early in the season. Our instructor knew a lot about nature, so he pointed to animals and explained them to us. We were lucky to see many seals, some even followed us due to curiosity. Furthermore, we were very lucky with the weather, since there was heavy rain and even a bit of hail before we went on the tour.

Unreal scenery in a stunning bay surrounded by mountains. Magical! - Our kayaking trip was brilliant from start to finish. Danny looked after us so well. He was informative, caring and a pleasure to be with. The water was crystal clear, glistening in the sunshine with tones of blue and green, the sand was white and the views from the water were sensational. I have a totally new appreciation of seaweed now! The very best of days.
