The most scary in this kayaking experience was the weather turn bad when the way back to the port. The wind storm and the wave was so frightening, our boat can't move forward due to the wind flow direction was towards us. Other boats were far away from us include the tour guide. You can imagine the feeling of nervous and helpless in middle of big sea.. Finally, the tour guide was return for rescue, thanks god and we arrived the land with safe. It was really challange and exciting games for us especially it was our 1st try on kayaking and unforgettable experience.
