Delightful. So peaceful. Except for the teens who set fireworks on top of our boat. Teen boys, so teens bring teens no matter what country we live. 😂

The booking process, website with the FAQs was simple and informative plus the comms before the trip were really helpful. We really enjoyed the trip and the kids all had a great time. Thank you

Had a great trip on Naavi's barge with our skipper Sean. He looked after us with teas and coffee. Chatted away about the barges and let us have a little shot of stearing. Highly recommended if you haven't already tried. Great for a day out.
