Amazing guide - We were delighted! I forgot the name of our guide and I really regret it. He is so attentive, it was very important for him that we saw everything. We went after lunch and watched the sunset - it was the best decision. I added photos and our guide is on them❣️

Fabulous boat excursion. - Communication was perfect and it was easy to book.
We chose a 7.00am tour. Well worth getting up early for. Collected and returned to our hotel.
Our guide was excellent at spotting the various birds and animals. He also took some of our close up photos, which were superb.
We had a fresh king coconut to drink.
Overall a fabulous, value for money experience and we would thoroughly recommend it.

Amazing Adventure - It was a fascinating river safari. we saw a lot of animals (monkeys, crocodiles, monitor lizards, snakes) and our guide had a lot of information about the flora and fauna. Plus, he was a real professional photographer on my iPhone camera. We got many good photos.
It's also nice that you can book an appointment directly via the homepage. There is also a free transfer if desired. We are completely satisfied and would recommend the tour unconditionally.
