My friend and I had a great time! The setup was easy and the guides were great. We were able to see seals, dolphins, fish, jellyfish, and plenty of birds! They also give you the option to get in the water if you’d like! 10/10, highly recommend. Special shoutout to Tylo (sorry if I spelled that wrong) I got to ride with him & did minimal work (loved that) 😂.

A great time with friends. The hosts Clement and Tylo were fantastic with us. We were 1st timers in a kayak but their instructions and patience were really welcome!!! Thank you so much. We also saw dolphins and seals. This trip was well worth the money.

We had an amazing time!...

We had an amazing time! Chadley was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area, wildlife and history. Useful tip is that free lockers are available at the reception and waterproof phone covers can be purchased for R100 at time of writing.
