“We’ve just got back from an amazing day with Phong! Our transport was the most comfortable bus we’ve been in and the air-con was welcome after every stop. Phong was a brilliant guide: his English was great; he had lots of things to talk about and teach us about the island and the country; and he took really good care of us. The kayaking along the river was lovely - there was a nice breeze which took the edge off the humidity and the trip was a good length. We got to taste a variety of different honeys at the bee farm, as well as seeing the bees up close…”

“Kajakturen och atv i sig var roliga upplevelser, därav 2 stjärnor. Helheten i sig är vi besvikna på. Stressig kajaktur och otydlig. Vi såg varken något kristallklart vatten att bada i eller förstod vad det var för fiskar som gör naturligt fiskspa. Panoramavy vid en piertop såg vi inte till, om det inte menas kajakstugan som vi ankom till? Ananasodlingen borde inte ens nämnas som en del av aktiviteten. Vi stannade med bilen längst vägen och tog en bild på några växter utan ananas på. Ingen provsmakning eller guidening kring processen fanns. Detta tog ca 2 minuter. Atv körningen var bra men vi fick inte nyttja fulla tiden. Från pickup…”
