The whole trip ran very smoothly and interestingly. We had the tours to caves, Titop island, beach, kayaking, all were good. The crew members were very nice and delightful. The cabins were spacious and comfortable. But there were not many local meals, which we had been hoped for. Overall it still very worth the money. Highly recommend!
