We had a lovely time at the village with the cooking classes and getting to know about the village . Mustafa and our guide Juma were fun people with good humour, made our trip quite entertaining.Rock cafe and the beach was extremely beautiful but we assumed we would have lunch there and did not know that it had to be booked prior . So if you do want to have food in that cafe do book and keep in advance . The caves part was really wonderful... quite an experience and then after grooving to the reggae beats was quite fun too.We had a really good time with our guide being our paparazzi recommending things we need to look out for when in certain locations . Overall good time and good guide and good service
