Great trip! Really good itinery with optional additional activiites.Islam our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Some early starts but well worth it. Boat was comfy Beds and rooms good. The only down side was the food was cold. Food was buffet style. It was only just warm on the servery and then put on cold plates so cold by the time you ate it.Show more
