Highlight of our visit
My 13 year old and I did this together while on holiday and she absolutely loved the experience. The guides were so passionate and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed learning about the area and the good work they are trying to achieve to protect the environment. The bay is nicely sheltered making for an easy kayak and there is a special natural and serene feel about it. We saw a number of wildlife but unfortunately no dolphins or penguins wanted to come out to visit while we were there so we will just have to come back another day :) Thanks for a great trip!

Hi, We are very pleased to hear that you had a great trip despite not seeing penguins or dolphins on the water. That is the way with wildlife, right? Flea Bay sure is a special place and we love sharing it with others and teaching about the conservation that is done there. Kindly, Danielle

Amazing experience!
We loved it! We had such knowledgeable guides who were so generous with us. Seeing the penguins from the water is definitely the best way to do it so go for the kayak if you can!!

Super Erfahrung!
Mit einer kleinen Gruppe und gutem Equipment auf dem Wasser unterwegs sein, dazu noch tolle Pinguine und Robben sehen (mit etwas Glück sieht man auch Delfine).. was will man mehr? Sehr nettes Familien Unternehmen, welches gute Werte vermittelt. Bei der Autofahrt bekommt man sehr viel interessantes Wissen vermittelt! Ich würde es auf jeden Fall nochmal machen.
