As you suspected, most of what we have to
say is positive. The boat, staff, accomodation, food, etc all met
high standards. Some passengers were upset about a couple of
things that didn't happen to us, e.g. fussy a/c units, but the only
incident that affected us directly was the bota's motor breakdown on
our last night, which was unfortunate, but came to nothing except a
little delay in final arrival (though it would have been nice if a
rescue boat had been called a little earlier). It does seem to me
that perhaps tourists, especially those without much experience with
being on a boat for several days, should be explained the difference
between luxury on land and at sea a little better.
Our
guide, Kike, was very good in that he made sure his group didn't
break any rules of the national park, and was knowledgeable. He
is quite young, and that's probably the reason why he is not, at this
time, very well versed in dealing with stressful situations in which
his role is to be a link and an interpreter.
Overall,
we were really very pleased, and had a fantastic trip we'll remember
for a lifetime! Thank you again for all your help, hopefully you
will hear from some of our family and friends who've been treated to
our circa 200-picture slide show :)
Let
me know if you need ay further info.
All
the best,
