My daughter aged 9 and I joined Kaiteriteri Kayak Seals and Cruise Package
My daughter aged 9 and I joined Kaiteriteri Kayak Seals and Cruise Package. We tried to go further in the ocean by kayaking but it was not very calm so we stayed inside the area. We still enjoyed kayaking much. After that, we had hot drinks and biscuits to warm up. In the afternoon we caught the cruise and been to the north and had a short period of time on a beautiful quiet land and ship back in Kaiteriteri.
