I booked the sunset tour and we had such a good time!
It was a very cloudy day so I wasn’t really hoping for a sunset but we got such a beautiful sky, it was amazing!
And the homemade snacks gave that extra little touch.
Definitly a must do when you’re in Agnes or 1770

Had a really fantastic time on the sunset kayak tour I highly recommend this fun experience! I went solo and immediately made friends and felt part of the group. The kayaking was excellent fun the ocean was beautiful and we saw dolphins Whales pelicans and lots of bird life plus our guide Simon was really engaging and knowledgeable. I think everyone would enjoy this ace tour and the sunset was gorgeous!!
