The Catamaran Cruise departs at 09h00 from the Waterfront and returns about 12h00. Enroot to the see will Pelicans Seals and often Dolphins. On a good day we could spot the Sunfish ( Mola Mola) and even Whales ( in the whaling season). Some times Pelicans fly real close and we stop at the seal colony to view the 50000 strong seal colony from the sea. Snacks are served on the Catamaran. Time to embark and disembark the Catamaran is not included in the time ( this takes about 30 minutes)
