Fun and safe water activity!

This was an unforgettable kayaking experience, and our two instructors were incredibly friendly and patient. Since it was our first time kayaking, we weren't fully prepared; at the scheduled start time, our attire was not suitable for the sea. However, with the help of the instructors, we were able to borrow the right swimwear, and they patiently waited and assisted us. Once we were out on the water, the instructors demonstrated great skill, calmly handling unexpected situations. We enjoyed tea on the beach and even explored ancient caves. Thank you both so much!
