Amazing tour (We are so lucky)

5.00I went on a tour with mr. Ba and everything was just amazing. This tour is not in a big group and is very local. We started by passing the floating fishervillages. After we jumped of the boat and swam to monkey island. We watched a beautiful sunset back on the boat before heading to the spot where we could kayak. We saw a lot of bioluminescent plankton (even though the moon was bright). If you aren't enthusiastic already, mr. Ba will make you more happy with shouting "we are so lucky". And indeed we were. Mr. Ba has a lot of information about the islets and is ready to answer all your questions and point all the extraordinarities. We finished the beautiful trip with a delicious meal cooked by mr. Ba's wife in their family restaurant. I highly recommend this experience to everyone who wants a happy and authentic evening.
