INGR’s Trip to Tioman Adventurous week filled with snorkeling, kayaking, rafting plus a very interesting agricultural project Daniel, Carlos, Wahi and Annie had a fabulous time last week visiting Tioman Island for their residential trip. Check out the INGR Tioman Trip video here: bit.ly/INGRtioman They took part in loads of fun activities and wowed the Little Planet instructors with their determination to complete some of the more challenging tasks. They snorkeled in the sea, kayaked on the river, built a raft and participated in a raft race, went on a speedboat, jumped off a jetty and spent some time at an agricultural project all before their parents joined them for their last day on the island. What a fun filled week!
