Official Description (provided by the hotel):: We hope that one of the joys of traveling with us will be in meeting the local people and exploring remote areas. Unfortunately, tourism can radically alter what it was that inspired the industry in the first place. It is for this reason that we as travelers have a responsibility to minimize our impact on the people and environments we enjoy. Through our examples and attitudes we can ensure that our visits have minimal impact on the environment and that we foster positive cultural exchanges between our local hosts and ourselves. ... more less

Sailed on the 4n cruise in mid April. My party of 5 where the only passengers. Agree with the previous reviews about Milton, and the other staff, would give 7 stars if possible. Do not have to repeat the accolades. Would rate the home office marketing a 1 star and trip adviser reviewers 2 stars for not pointing out important... More

Your feedback is very important to us because we know exactly where we have to work on. We will update all our itineraries and... More

“Incredible”

Reviewed 22 April 2013 via mobile

All the reviews are spot on what wonderful way to see the rainforest, the only boat on the river. The staff and particularly the canoe driver were brilliant. I will not go on and on just read the other reviews. The highlight apart from the animals and jungle was playing football with school kids on the banks of the river... More

This concept is nothing but... More
