Safe, Informative, and Truly Memorable Kayaking Trip

5.00Gokul was our instructor for the trip, and he was outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely friendly. He shared fascinating insights about the mangroves and Purple Island, which added real value to the experience. We felt completely safe kayaking with him. He was especially kind and attentive to my aunt, who is 77 years old and cannot swim, offering constant reassurance and practical support. Anyone who felt tired received help immediately, always with a smile. This was truly an amazing experience. It’s my second time with Aquasport, and it certainly won’t be the last—I’ll be back many more times.
Amazing kayaking experience at Purple Island with Aquasports!
