    People were lovely and experience was good but it was much shorter than expected - maybe our group paddled too fast! Would have loved more!

    We had a great time. Our guide Ryu was an excellent host and was able to communicate with us well despite the language barrier. We highly suggest booking here and requesting Ryu as your guide!
