We really enjoyed our sea kayak tour (11.30 tour). Our guide, Lee, was knowledgeable, experienced, and safe, but also fun and unobtrusive. As novices in our 50's and 60's we felt very comfortable being out on the water with Lee.

Sean and Lucia the guides were fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Paddle was pretty easy as we kept mostly close to shore and conditions were pretty good. Life jackets and kayaks looked a little worn but everything worked and were comfortable. Originally booked for the more expensive sunrise paddle but offered afternoon tour due to weather. Still waiting for reply or refund for difference, communication gone silent so…🙅‍♀️
