“Super recommend!! We weren’t able to snorkel because the waves were too rough but being in the kayak out on the ocean under the sun was just amazing. Our guide was passionate and attentive and we saw an entire pod of dolphins, which was magical, and the surrounding views are gorgeous. The only sad thing is you go nearby to some commercial fish farms which honestly are pretty upsetting but that’s no fault of the kayak experience group! Would defo recommend :)”
