It was such a special experience to go and see the seals and dolphins in their own space, getting an up-close look at them. The seals are so fun and playful and the dolphins so graceful and peaceful. I would recommend this to anyone who has a love for the ocean.

It was a good ocean outing. The wind came up and the dolphins were shy but it was great to be at sea.

We were looking forward to the end of the trip to the seals, but did not go as we were told there is no more time left. This was quite a big disappointment, as we did not see much on the trip, so I felt we should then rather not have spent as much time at the only 2 other sightings (dolphins).
