March 2006
I felt like a kid again!
I took a white water kayaking course in beautiful Royal Beach with Ram and Prakash. The green warm water made it easy and comfortable to learn the basic skills. We practiced and laught a lot during the two days but the best moments were when I managed to surf with the kayak for a short moment, and then going down the rapids with a big smile on my face! The guys are very professional and they deliver a great time!"
