Customer Reviews

A lifetime experience! My friends and I had high expectations, but the tour surpassed them all. Seals are extremely curious and playful animals. Unique emotions! - Sara


Great activity, kind of a must do. The guys that accompany you really know what they're doing! - Frank


We had an amazing Swim with seals activity. There was a lot of attention for all of us and we received a lot of beautiful pictures and movies of it. - Hans


It was an awesome experience to swim with seals. Our guide was doing exactly what a good guide is supposed to do. Making sure that the seals (wild animals) feel ok with us & we respect the clear rules how to behave (like trying to touch the animal is a warning, a second warning would be back to the boat) around these curious creatures. Knowing what these animals might do (like showing their teeth while swimming towards you) helped to enjoy the swim & feel safe at the same time. If you know how to snorkel relaxed in the open sea, then it's a highly recommended once in a lifetime experience. In our group there were too many inexperienced slightly stressed snorklers that I bumped into all the time ? but I still had this one ?[?] to one ?[?] ? experience with a curious seal. Yes, the seal kinda kissed me not the other way around ? - Frank


This was an incredible experience!! We booked last minute and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip by far!! Angelo was amazing, did his best and got some spectacular videos and photos of us with the seals (even though we were moving around so much to make his job difficult) and he was SO knowledgeable and fun throughout. Cannot recommend this activity enough! - Jana
