- We had an amazing day. The dolphins and whales came so close. And had a fun kayak-surf at the end. All thanks to our great guide Seb and the other guide (I don’t remember his name but looks like Seb)

Whales, dolphins, turtles & crabs at sunrise - The best time with our family. We saw dolphins, whales, a turtle & crabs out kayaking. It was extra magic at sunrise. Definitely worth the early rise. Seb was an awesome guide!

Saw a whale! - Great experience, ocean kayaking with Seb! Chillaxed guide extraordinaire. Saw 3 turtles, large pod of dolphins and a whale. And armies of soldier crabs. Sunrise drive along the coloured sands was a bonus.

Just unlucky this time - I booked this on my birthday, solo travelling in the hope of kayaking whilst whale watching. I have whale watched on boat tours before and thought this sounded like a unique experience and a great way to not disrupt the wildlife. Always tricky though when relying on nature! The weather got bad so I think the trip was maybe cut short, or we were just unlucky. Understandable though as I’m sure they wanted to ensure everyone’s safety. We did see a whale on the horizon when driving in so I think it was just unfortunate timing. I would recommend avoiding booking during the holidays if possible, as the group was very large. This i’d say was the main downside, as it was hard to hear what the guide was saying and had to just guess and follow the group when they headed back to shore. I get that it’s kind of impossible to be within earshot for such a large group though and to keep everyone together. Maybe we had drifted too far away. We did see a whale when back on shore, just a shame it was after we left the water. Impressive driving from the guides back through the storm along the beach. They were also kind to drop us at cars/accommodation to avoid the rain. I can only review based on my own experience which was honestly more 3/5 for me but I felt bad to put that when that was partly due to uncontrollable circumstances! I’m sure with a smaller group it would be incredible, no doubt 5/5 and a bit more worth the money. Always the way and a risk when depending on nature!
