Best Experience

As a person with no prior Kayak knowledge, this is the best thing to do in kayak. The team is very professional and friendly. I really loved the guided tour through the waterfall and mangrove. Both me and my 11 years old son enjoyed the awesome team event in the middle of the water.

Amazing.

They briefed us so well that I was confident of getting into the kayaks since I dint know swimming. :P Took care and explained the places and its significance. Thanks a lot Mr. Dan for the patience shown to the slow riders :)
