Afterwards we went on a kayak tour through the mangroves with Ayaka and Misaki. It was just as great and informative as the snorkeling. You can tell straight away that all three love what they do. Keep it up. I can only recommend it! :) Arigatou gozaimasu Ayaka, Misaki and Sebastian for this great experience! :)”
