"It was an absolutely brilliant holiday and I enjoyed the kayaking much more than I could have imagined. Also, because of the nature of the islands it was a complete and utter escape from the real world. We were really very impressed with this operator. Everything was superbly organized and the kayaking guide was terrific- a really nice guy who knew what he was doing and who managed to make sure that everybody got what they wanted out of the holiday. We really enjoyed dealing with them- we felt they really cared about their customers and they provided us with a great, totally hassle-free experience. Yvonne (UK)"
