The top deck is stunning and there is a jacuzzi. The activities/trips were fun and interesting, including squid fishing, cycling in the jungle and visit to a cave, and the crew were knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Highly recommend.

The boat was smaller than some of larger ones, which kept the experience more intimate and tailored. So many activities to ensure we experienced the stunning beauty of this world heritage area. Kayaking, exploring the caves and squid fishing.
If you are struggling to find a cruise amongst the thousands to offer, this one definitely won’t disappoint.
Please let Dat (cruise manager) and his team delight you with their service and hospitality.
