Top Highlights

  • Cellular JailSix days paddling between islands, including one night launch into a mangrove creek for the bioluminescence.
  • Radhanagar beachThe afternoon paddle is about seat height and paddle length rather than distance.
  • Mangrove tunnelsThe creeks are only passable near high water and the whole day is timed off the tide table rather than the clock.
  • Elephant BeachEvery paddle stroke lights up.
  • Bharatpur reefNeil is a fraction of Havelock's size and the reef at Bharatpur starts a few metres off the sand.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. No hesitation recommending them.

Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. No hesitation recommending them.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
