“A nice kayak tour out to the seal colony. A bit pricey for the duration, but awesome to get all up close to the animals.”

“Throughly enjoyable experience over all. We didn't see a huge amount wildlife-wise but you can’t mark the trip down based on what wild animals are doing (or not doing!) Our guide Ru was great; friendly and helpful and relaxed. I was a solo traveller and was paired with Ru so don’t be afraid to book Thai double-kayak experience even if you are travelling alone! The scenery and over all experience of kayaking on the sea and getting up close to the seals (sea lions ) is incredible. And there is something peaceful and majestic about being surrounded by the birds flying and swooping all around you! Thank you!”

“Unable to attend due to rescuing lost backpacker. No partial or full refund given. I guess it doesn't pay to do the right thing. I will not recommend this company in future. Moral companies are very important to me.”
