Summary:
Cannot recommend this enough. The company let me know my original morning booking was during low tide and offered to switch me to a sunset booking during high tide. The guide was great - kind and helpful. Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful like little else inside the mangroves and canyons. Only three of us on the tour and I was a solo traveller - worked out very well.

Summary:
Very nice experience kayaking with friendly and caring guide - Din. During the road we also made new friends from USA, Australia and France. It was an early morning activity although the tide was low we still had nice 2 h experience and paddled ~6 km in total. We suggest this activity for couples, group of friends or even for solo travellers to make new friends.

Summary:
An amazing experience, highly recommended! We had Lek as a guide and he was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable about the area and the nature, he adapted the planned route to best accommodate our kayaking abilities and give us the best experience possible. We also stayed for the bbq, it was great to have some good food immediately after the activity and Lek took us back to the hotel! Altogether fantastic value, getting to see nature up close and observe several monkey species. If you are unsure about when to do the kayaking, check the level of the tides online, at low tide a lot of the mangrove area is too shallow and inaccessible. Luckily, we came just at the right time!
