“Kayaking was really great experience. It was our first time kayaking and the currents were extremely strong while going towards the island. So the onward journey was tough but extremely enjoyable. The guides were helpful in correcting our techniques and encouraging us. Snokerling was a underwhelming as it was near the shore and the water was not clean due to the heavy currents. They provided water and snacks and took a few pictures while kayaking and snorkeling! The beach where the trip starts is really nice and we enjoyed spending time there after the trip. Do not forget your beach slippers as it is very hot!!”
