Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a slower-paced delta experience away from standard tourist circuits — families, couples and small groups comfortable with basic physical activity. Suitable for all fitness levels, though the day involves several hours of paddling and cycling, so reasonable fitness helps. Infants must sit on an adult's lap in boats. The trip is weather-dependent (heavy rain or extreme heat may affect comfort); bring sun protection and insect repellent. Lunch, entrance fees, vehicle, bike and paddle equipment are all included. It's a private tour, so group size and exact timing can be arranged with the operator.
