No response.

Tour itself was good. Sometimes we had to navigate among mangroves or under them. We bumped a lot, but we were able to move forward. Kayaking was fun and I loved it. One issue I had was to communicate with tour provider. Tour operator changed pickup time and I had a question on logistics. I found email address and phone number of the tour operator. I emailed twice and called tour times in the morning of tour date. I even tried to contact it thru trip advisor twice. I received no answer what so ever.
