It is a great experience and fun. However, there are some frustration. Planned activities need to be clearly instructed to the clients. The guides are saying one thing and the boat operators doing otherwise. When to change? What to expect? And no proper place for showering though change of plan. This needs to be fixed because showering and change is important
