Choppy Wild and Fun.

Lisa_A, Jul 2025
The water was choppy with ocean waves, dipping here rising there, it was the sensation of a never ending roller coaster. The sms warned us to prepare for possible seasickness - glad we followed the advice! Our little group was fine. We saw seals playing in the distance. . Dolphins kept to play and swim beside our tour boat. The Wales in the area choose to stay hidden below the waters surface because of the chill factor from the wind., That’s ok, it’s an excuse to book again. The staff were kind friendly and helpful, ensuring everyone was safe.
