This is well worth the money.
A very cool cultural experience. The boat out to the islands is comfortable. The pick-up from the hotel, you need to be waiting OUTSIDE your hotel looking for the driver, he doesn't come in to collect you.
The "optional" ride on a traditional boat is NOT optional it is required to get to the second island, you must bring soles with you to pay for this. It's not that fun of an experience as you think it would be.
The tour guides are not very good either. He didn't project his voice so it's Very difficult to hear him. Once we arrived on a floating island, I had to ask him to wait for everyone else to arrive because he started explaining things before people had even gotten off the boat! Each time it was time to transition to the next, the guides we're rude and shouting at people, instead of politely notifying us it's time to go.
But all in all, it's an inexpensive experience to have and I'm glad we went.
