About this tour

What to expect
After a safety briefing and gear check, you'll launch your kayak and paddle toward known seal haul-outs. The guides read water and animal behaviour, positioning you for close but respectful views without disturbing the colony. Expect calm paddling at a leisurely pace with frequent stops to observe and photograph. Once you've had your fill of wildlife watching, you'll beach the kayak at a quiet spot where lunch is set out—nothing rushed, just good food and the sound of water.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential; poor cardiovascular health, spinal injuries, and pregnancy aren't suitable. Wear layers and bring sunscreen. Public transport reaches the departure point. The kayak is stable but you'll be wet from spray and paddle work.
