“I think his name was Fernandez and he was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the Bengali caves we were visiting and its history. The kayaks from this company were the best as we are seasoned kayaker's, the groups were small, allowing him to interact with us on a personal level. He loved being on the water and clearly love this area. He gave us some recommendations for the area to see the sunset!! Thanks for an amazing experience!!”
