“When reading the description we thought that we were booking kayaking to go and see turtles, when in reality, we may as well not have bothered. During the briefing our guide, David, gave us the safety instructions and told us all to stick together to make it easier for them to help us in the event of emergency. He had a colleague with him as a second hand who I assumed would stay at the back of the group whilst David stayed at the front. In reality, as soon as David saw the pace of the quickest kayakers, he stuck with them. There were 2 occasions where we were left…”

Couldn't recommend this tour enough - we were really looked after with nice touches such as a locker to keep our belongings in whilst on the water, a bottle of water and a snack to have on the kayak and the guide at hand to take photos and videos of us of kayaking. We saw several dolphins and turtles.”
