    We went on a day trip to the hot springs with Mani as our guide! While the waters and springs were already beautiful in terms of sight seeing, Mani took our experience to a whole new level! He was incredibly knowledgable of the islands, the wildlife and we even spotted a grey whale on our journey! Fun from start to finish. Thank you!!
