Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Worth every rupee.

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.
