Swim with the dolphins, or take a cruise to spot the local wildlife.
I recently took the sightseeing trip and it was fabulous. Informative, fun and during the cruise we spotted dolphins, birds of prey, pelicans, and beautiful scenery. They then drop you are penguin island so you can see the island and the penguins being fed. A great day out. I recommend taking a picnic lunch for the island.
