We also paid for the speed boat which was reasonably priced but we didn't see anything amazing so would probably skip. At the last stop, we trekked to the top of…”

“Our room was great, very spacious with a little balcony and large windows. The food was good, the host was great, but i think they should at least include a free drink per meal and even though it is sold to you as 2 day cruise, its really just a day plus transportation, the activities are super rushed and the next day its so early we were freezing on the kayak, not really enjoyable. Lovely experience but with room for improvement, specially considering the price.”
