We really enjoyed our day out with Dedi. He was easy to communicate with over WhatsApp and met with us when we arrived on our ferry. We went to the main tourist spots at Kelingking and Diamond beach but also to Tembeling beach which is more off the tourist track and we would never have known to go here ourselves. Overall a great day and we would definitely recommend booking this
