But fortunately the weather was calm enough to get some kayaking in! An incredible experience with some lovely mulled wine or hot chocolate and biscuits after! Transport fully included even dropped people off to their hotels which was lovely!”

“We really enjoyed our time kayaking with our guide Johnathan. He was calm and patient, made sure everyone knew what they were doing and took time to ensure everyone was enjoying the experience. He regrouped us now and again, to ensure we were altogether and to provide knowledge of our surroundings. There was 5 of us, so my son opted to go out on the double kayak with Johnathan, who was extremely good with him, took an interest, was knowledgeable and answered any questions. As a family we enjoyed this experience, 4 of us had never kayaked before so it was one for the memory bank. Thank you!”
