Beautiful discoveries on land and at sea - An eventful 4x4 ride on the beach; a real thrill ride! Very pleasant kayak trip in the early afternoon to better see the marine fauna. At this time of year (end of October), we could see dolphins, turtles including the famous "green turtle" from the movie "The world of Nemo" which can be a hundred years old! On the way back, we could observe these delusional "soldier crabs". JB, our guide was very nice and very funny. He explained a lot about this particular natural environment. I recommend!

Kayaking with whales - Very friendly and competent hosts and guides. Interesting information along the way. Were lucky enough to have great weather, blue and clean water. Saw heaps of dolphins and a breaching whale. Surfed in for an exciting finale. Very enjoyable day.

Epic Experience - Epic journey, perfect weather. Felt comfortable with the guides, based on beginners experience and flexible tour exploring and spotting the marine life. Some education, but got up close to heaps of dolphins and following a mother n calf. Even chance to surf a wave back to shore. 5/5 stars. Come prepared with water and light snacks.

Amazing day with Whales and Dolphins - One of those amazing days we’ll remember forever. Bouncing around in a Land Cruiser over the sand, listening to stories from Vince (great guy, super knowledgeable). Then WHALES! Humpbacks only a few meters from the kayaks. Turtles, dolphins, huge sea eagle, leopard ray under the water. Relaxed experienced guides. Exceeded all expectations. Thank you!

Great family day out. - My kids wanted me to make sure I wrote a review, so here it is. It was a great day out, the kids and I loved it. Unfortunately, the wildlife didn't come to say hello, but we still have fun. The kids were especially impressed with Liam, he was very knowledgeable and made them feel safe through the day. Thank you.

Disappointing - This tour was a disappointment. The 4x4 trip is over promised (ie an old, stuffy van driving along a beach, just like all the other cars on the beach). The kayak spot is on the open ocean, you kayak out and return back. Seems like a low chance there would be any sea life. If you really want to see dolphins, take a jet boat tour that can find a pod and drive nearer to it.
