    Also look for the activity where you can swim with the seals. If your fit enough to climb in and out of an inflatable, this option would be better. We are both in our 60's and loved this trip. The launch and docking are exceptionally good fun - I'll say no more apart you need to experience it! The time looking at the seals passed very quickly - there's so much to see, and watching the seals play was delightful. Great fun!

    We only booked the "viewing". But you can still consider on site whether you want to swim with the fur seals. The appropriate upgrade is not a problem. Showers and moving cabins are available on site. "Observer" and "snorkeler" sit together in the boat. Very nice and well organized excursion.
