Very nice experience. Morning transport very punctual, times perfectly respected even during the various excursions. Our guide, Nikon (I hope it is written like this) very good, friendly and well organized. Beautiful canoe trip, break at James Bond Island with free time for photos and exploration. Abundant and good lunch. Another experience after returning by boat with a visit to a sanctuary in a cave with a reclining Buddha and many monkeys. Excellent day
