Amazing experience! The guides are very friendly and professional, and the views were breathtaking. It's very hard to fail with such beautiful nature! Highly recommendable! Also, Conrad is a great dune driver and a very cultured guide; we loved chatting with him!

Summary:
This was a great experience! The day started with a boat tour where seal and pelican friends literally jump on the boat with you. Then you ride out to see the smelly and loud seal colony and you get some oysters and snacks/bubbly/drinks on the boat. The second part was even better in my opinion, as you explore the sand dunes by car with plenty of photo opps along the way. The tour guides were very kind and personable. It was a fun time overall!
