Very interesting seeing the otters being fed & birds of pray talks. Pleasant surrounding. Nice for a half-day out trip.

Exceptional day out

Its not just otters but lots of birds and other animals as well. The otter species are all different and the guide does a great job of explaining them. The cafe is small but sufficient.
