Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Worth every rupee.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No hesitation recommending them.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Good value for what's included.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Minke, fin and humpback come into the estuary roughly May to October, with August and September the most reliable. The belugas are resident year-round but are endangered and protected — boats must not approach them, so seeing one is luck rather than itinerary.
