An exciting launch and trip to the seals. Hundreds and hundreds of seals - on the rocks, in the water - there's also the chance of seeing dolphins and whales - we saw two different species of dolphins. Captain and guide were very knowledgeable and the ride ended with an interesting twist.

Helpful?

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!
