Wonderful experience
Highly recommend this experience! Tony and Muffy are incredible guides, answered all our questions, kept a lookout for wildlife. I preferred this tour to the other tours I’ve been on on the same route as the boat was less crowded and it was much more personal! We saw dolphins, penguins, shags, grebes, and seals!
