4.00Unfortunately the tour had to be shortened due to the ferry being damaged. But our tour guide Adrian Hazel made every part of what we had left enjoyable. He had a very good knowledge and understanding of the area. Managed to see several crocodile on the boat ride including a hatchling. Thanks again Adrian for keeping us informed and laughing 😃

4.00Beautiful walks and everything is taken care of from the hotel to the destination. The attendants are very friendly, welcoming. Little flat, there are no languages other than English and we sometimes lacked it for gratinés sorties. Only the one with the GPS guide was more pleasant to understand the story and legends.
Great Day with Adrian H
