Great kayak-trip with a very knowledgeable guide, who spoke English besides French (which is VERY hard to find on Reunion).

The trip was very good, shame the whales have decided to vacation elsewhere this year. At least we were able to snorkel with a pod of spinner dolphins. Geoff did a good job of explaining in french and English (for myself). Overall a good trip
