Our guide is Andres, the most patient guide ever, I was lack of experience and did not know how to keep my balance, the wind constantly shifted my boat direction, Andres professionally guiding my step by step and i had finally manage it successfully. During the kayaking session, the views were magnificent and breathtaking, have not seen any views nicer than this in Asia for sure. Highly recommended and it’s such a wonderful day

Andres was our guide and he was amazing. Made us feel so safe and comfortable, and wasn't treating it like it was his job- he was genuinely happy to be on the water with us and showing us the views from the lake. He also made sure we got all the pictures we wanted!!

Mattaius was amazing! Everyone was so helpful and the takeoff wasn’t as scary as I thought. They all made me feel very comfortable and excited, I would 10000% do again! Amazing views!
