“We had a brilliant time kayaking with Karim as our guide. Everything was very well organised and the whole experience was fun from the moment we set off. We saw crabs, walking fish, birds of prey, a snake, curlews and of course loads of monkeys including young ones. It was a joy watching Karim interacting with them. When the mangroves opened up into sea, the heaven’s also opened and we were all soaked but it was very special to see the magical way the rain bounces off the sea and mist and clouds gather around the mountains. Kayaking was followed by a lovely lunch which included fresh fruit and drinks.…”
