Well organised and led trip
Well organize trip by Nicole. Highly recommended to anyone who like to experience snorkeling with whale shark and love adventure trips. Glad to meet many like minded friends on the trip.
If there is a word that I can use, it's SHIOK!!! We had a party organised and almost all of us were at the dance floor. What more can you ask for ?? We were strangers at the start and then we became friends at the end. Nicole, you are the best!!!
