The morning was all about the seal colonies: after a short introduction, we took to the water in kayaks – complete with rain gear and cell phone pouches, which was very well organized! It was great fun to "play in the water" with the curious seals. The young animals in particular came very close – an experience we will never forget. One of the guides…”
