Really enjoyed this as a random thing to do for half a day, and something completely different. Getting up close to the seals was awesome. I’d suggest taking a waterproof camera.

Its a bumpy ride due to high tides but its worth it once you get close to the island. We had a great time swimming (even though I don't know how to swim) and the staff were great. Hotel pick up was on time and very courteous.
