We have just had the most fabulous kayaking experience with guide Brad. We
travelled as a family with children - 3, 6 and 8. We did the early morning
trip out on the water and saw so many dolphins jumping, swimming and playing
next to our kayaks. It was magical. We felt well looked after, clear
instructions and good equipment. All the guides were friendly and supportive.
I would absolutely recommend.
