Absolutely Epic! - Kevin was great at teaching us how to use the kayak as we had never used one before. He spoke to us about the wildlife and showed us the monitors and there were some eagles as well. We went on the water and he told some traditional lore about rainbow beach. We saw a pod of dolphins surfing the waves and that was awesome! The bus was really tall and took the beach really well. Overall it was a great trip and would 100% recommend to anyone fit and wanting an informative and safe adventure

Nature to enjoy - The guides were easy going and explained everything very well. The equipment was good. The way to get to the spot offers great views of the colour changing dunes, it's good to see a longer part of them. We saw several dolphins, not very close, several times. The guides paid attention that the dolphins did not get stressed by the kayaks.

Beautiful discoveries on land and at sea - An eventful 4x4 ride on the beach; a real thrill ride! Very pleasant kayak trip in the early afternoon to better see the marine fauna. At this time of year (end of October), we could see dolphins, turtles including the famous "green turtle" from the movie "The world of Nemo" which can be a hundred years old! On the way back, we could observe these delusional "soldier crabs". JB, our guide was very nice and very funny. He explained a lot about this particular natural environment. I recommend!

Kayaking with whales - Very friendly and competent hosts and guides. Interesting information along the way. Were lucky enough to have great weather, blue and clean water. Saw heaps of dolphins and a breaching whale. Surfed in for an exciting finale. Very enjoyable day.

Epic Experience - Epic journey, perfect weather. Felt comfortable with the guides, based on beginners experience and flexible tour exploring and spotting the marine life. Some education, but got up close to heaps of dolphins and following a mother n calf. Even chance to surf a wave back to shore. 5/5 stars. Come prepared with water and light snacks.

Long Haired Seb’s Epic Double Island Point Adventure - Long haired Seb was very knowledgeable of the area, obliging and friendly with interesting yarns to tell. The crystal clear water was great for kayaking and swimming.

Disappointing - This tour was a disappointment. The 4x4 trip is over promised (ie an old, stuffy van driving along a beach, just like all the other cars on the beach). The kayak spot is on the open ocean, you kayak out and return back. Seems like a low chance there would be any sea life. If you really want to see dolphins, take a jet boat tour that can find a pod and drive nearer to it.
