This was a really fun activity. The guides (especially Peter) were fun, safe and knowledgeable. Although I consider myself relatively fit, I think this activity would be suitable for most levels of fitness.

I had the most incredible time out on the Kayaks with this company! The guys running it were so incredibly helpful and supportive and kept you informed every step of the way and I felt very safe. I would honestly recommend this to anyone. We managed to see whales, dolphins a turtle and a sting ray!

Genuinely fun activity. Highly recommend! Well, run, safe, and busy with shakes and dolphins. Just nice to be in the water. All kayaks are two seaters.

The guides were AMAZING!!!! I hope they are well compensated as they were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. This was hands down our favourite day in Australia! We saw 2 baby whales with mom merely meters away from our kayaks. We were not seasoned kayakers at all but the guides supported and made the experience fun.

From start to finish the guides were great, had an amazing time. It was out of my comfort zone a bit, but so glad I did it. Everything was done to put you at ease and get a great experience. Saw so many dolphins. It was a small group and I think perfect amount of people.

Amazing trip. Pete and his coworkers were great-kept us safe and informed in a friendly and amusing way. We saw plenty of whales and dolphins and loved the experience.

This sea kayaking was amazing! The instructors were super friendly and explained all the important things, such as safety information but also facts about the marine life. On our tour we saw dolphins, whales and a turtle which was incredible! Since we went in winter the company gave us wet suits which was great! Kayaking was so much fun and I made some new friends! I really recommend this tour! Thanks for this experience!

This was an amazing kayaking tour. The kayaking was explained very well and we took lots of breaks so it was very easy going. Managed to see dolphins and some whales on the horizon which made it so special. Guides were fantastic, would highly recommend.
