A wonderful way to get out on the water for those who don't feel comfortable with the motion of boats. The guides were very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the wildlife and we were absolutely delighted to see so many otters !

Otters and their babies / bring your binoculars as the captain is very considerate of the wildlife and does not get too close
