Small group of 9 travelers. The main guide gave some facts in the van as we drove. Stopped at an authentic salt making farm - unique and interesting process. Surprise local treats purchased and tasted. River cruise was in a small local boat (not the large party boat). What a beautiful view along the river! Stopped to listen to/watch local women/girls/boys dance, sing and play ukuleles - we were asked to leave a tip to support the locals. Tarsier sanctuary - very small place (took about 15 minutes to walk through). We enjoyed seeing the small primates, but missed learning the back story and current work of the sanctuary. Lunch was delicious local food: soup, seafood pasta, honey chicken, vegetables, and rice. It was an interesting day with many experiences. Abraham did not check in with us through email the day before the tour - that would be appreciated.

Our guide Dave was amazing, very nice and and he helped carrying our dry bag + took millions of photos and videos of us, a real pro They picked us up at the established time in a nice van too, driver waited for us to take us back. All great

Everything was organized perfectly. Our guide was really nice and told us a lot of interesting information. I really enjoyed the ATV ride. I higly recommed this tour.

One of the best experience in my life. Great teacher and master who gave me support and comfort under water. Highly recommended :)
