Fantastic experience kayaking with our excellent guide Mark who was very knowledgable about the local marine wildlife and area.

We went on the dolphin Kayak tour yesterday and it was amazing. I went with my 10yr old son. We were so nervous to begin with, but our guide “Paddy” was so reassuring and informative that we calmed down and had the best time. We both absolutely loved it. And my son wants to go back next holidays. We saw so many dolphins!!!

It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous before your first kayak tour, so we’re delighted that Paddy helped you both feel relaxed and confident from the very beginning. 🛶😊 Seeing so many dolphins must have made the day even more memorable, and hearing that your son wants to come back next holidays is the biggest compliment we could receive! 🐬💙 Paddy will be delighted to hear your kind words about his reassurance and knowledge. Thank you again for joining us, and we can’t wait to welcome you both back for another adventure on the water! 🛶🐬🌿
