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.

Amazing experience!

We loved it! We had such knowledgeable guides who were so generous with us. Seeing the penguins from the water is definitely the best way to do it so go for the kayak if you can!!
