Era la primera vez que montábamos en kayak y que íbamos a cabo de gata la verdad es que no defraudó.Pasamos una mañana estupenda con un grupo de 10, nos reímos muchísimo . Nico, el profe nos explicó todo a la perfección y estuvo pendiente de todos en todo momento. Al terminar la excursión nos ofreció un resfresco bien fresquito. Muchas gracias el verano que viene repetimos seguro!
