Awesome Experience

It was an amazing experience and the team there were great in getting us on the water and dealing with new people coming in. Very pleasant and helpful. They can out to check on us and were able to take a few pictures of us. Goat Island is a magical place and well worth the visit in a Clear bottomed Kayak.

We had a fantastic time kayaking, that too on a transparent Kayak that made it way more enjoyable. Kip was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable.

Summer experience in winter time

You’re lucky if you get to see about 5 fish, and we saw probably over 20! quite some snappers and some red moki. Magical to see sea life passing by under your feet in this little paradise. Thanks also for the tip to go to Mathesons bay, it was a perfect filler for the rest of the day ☺️
