Highlight of our trip
Graham was a great guide teaching us about penguins, seals, spotted shags (a fellow birder!), gorse & tea tree. Lots of local knowledge, photo spots, a working farm & kayaking to rafts of penguins. Sweet town for lunch afterwards too

Had an amazing time! Wonderful guides, Kevin was super knowledgeable and fun to talk to. A very nice little gift shop at the end to take home a momento.

Wonderful 🐧
Ben was very informative and friendly. Opportunity to go to the loo and water bottle refill before and after kayaking. Main office was easy to find. Great tutorial of how to get in and out of the kayaks. The drive to the kayaking was beautiful and Ben stopped for us to take photos, tell us about the plants etc. fantastic day thank you so much!

Super Erfahrung!
Mit einer kleinen Gruppe und gutem Equipment auf dem Wasser unterwegs sein, dazu noch tolle Pinguine und Robben sehen (mit etwas Glück sieht man auch Delfine).. was will man mehr? Sehr nettes Familien Unternehmen, welches gute Werte vermittelt. Bei der Autofahrt bekommt man sehr viel interessantes Wissen vermittelt! Ich würde es auf jeden Fall nochmal machen.
