The guide Ork was humorous, friendly and helpful. Ork came early to pick us up. The company WhatsApp me the day before pick up at 8.20am which was great communication. Ork was also our guide for the Kayaking and he was very experienced and knowledgeable about the area where we are kayaking. He even prepared pineapples and banana cup cakes when we take a break at one of the small island. The area was wonderful for kayaking with lots of shade from the sun. He even has water proof bags for us to keep our things. A coconut await us at the end of the trip.
