Gentle and relaxing trip, excellent crew of three, wonderful meals on board freshly cooked, so much to eat. The bed was heavenly to sleep on. Bathroom with a flushing toilet and bath tub with two types of shower heads. Hopefully maybe next year will go again will stay more than one night next time.

Well worth the money and a must do if you find yourself in this part of the world. The crew were fantastic, attentive and polite and pointed out everything of interest as you slowly meander along the backwaters. The food was fantastic and plentiful and with the unexpected bonus of a canoe trip it was altogether a brilliant experience
