Kayaking in the winter is also an amazing experience since it is much calmer, however chances of encountering sharks are higher as well. The trip is 2 hours long with breathtaking views of both land and sea. After kayaking, you get to swim with the penguins as well!!!

But one needs to be careful because these adorable birds can bite!! Although it is open to all and no experience necessary, children under 10 years are not permitted to go kayaking.
