“It was a great experience! For someone who likes a less turist more authentic experience is perfect. I love kayaking. so, it was a nice way to explore the floating villages in a sporty, slow way. My guide Daral was very generous with the explanations and he seemed very enthusiastic explaining not only about the floating villages but about the area and about some temples. Which was appreciated. I recommend sandals easy to remove over bulky shoes. And sunscreen.”
