5.00I had a lot of fun. The water buffalo was very friendly. Spinning the boat was great. But maybe dont spin more than a minute. Would recommend.
Really enjoyed this tour....

5.00Really enjoyed this tour. Long was a great guide. I did the tour in the rain but was still very happy with the experience. The tour operators were very accomodating and I got more than I expected out of it.

5.00The Buffalo ride was amazing, and the boat ride was a lot of fun, our fisherman didn’t have have much luck catching crabs, but we saw one. Our guide cooked our meal and he was very patient with us today.

5.00We would highly recommend this trip specially the cycle option. You get to see the local rice fields and farmers, visit the buffalo’s and sit on one to ride if you wish. We then had a trip on the coconut boats which was great fun and well organised by this trip. After we had a lunch full of delicious local foods which tastes amazing. Great value for money and great guides. Highly recommend.
