5.00The kayaking trip was wonderful from start to finish! From the king coconuts that we were given on arrival to watching the train go past at the end of the kayak, everything was so well organised. Kayaking through mangroves and watching the variety of wildlife, including eagles, was an experience that I’ll never forget. We even went for a swim ! Kaluuu and Neranjan were the perfect guides and I’d highly recommend this trip.
Value for money great experience

5.00We had a welcome coconut and drink when arrived. It was all well organised and safe for adults and children. Great going through the mangos and a swim midway in the sea was very much appreciated. Great way to spend couple of hours. Definitely recommend it Kim
Fun and memorable kayaking experience.
