What to expect

This tour takes you through breathtaking scenery, including rugged coastlines, lush forests, and towering mountains. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and have plenty of opportunities to capture stunning photos.
Once in the water, you may encounter curious seals in their natural habitat. Seals are known for their playful and inquisitive nature and may approach snorkelers to investigate.
If you prefer not to snorkel, you are welcome to relax on the boat or explore the area by kayak while taking in the magnificent scenery and wildlife around you. Kayaking is offered as a fantastic alternative or complement to snorkeling.
During the fall (October–November) and spring (March–April) seasons, we offer kayaking only, as cooler water temperatures make snorkeling less suitable.
At any point during the snorkeling experience, if you begin to feel cold, you can return onboard to warm up with a hot drink before heading back into the water. Our fully covered boat provides excellent protection from the elements and is equipped with a hot water shower, dive elevator for easy water access and onboard toilet for your comfort.
