Enjoyed - It was a wonderful boat trip. Super nice guide. Very nice area and the sun made it complete of course. Can get cold if there is no sun we think. Seen a lot of beautiful birds. Definitely recommended.

Relax on the tranquil water - It was a lovely experience. The guide was friendly and funny and told us interesting facts about the birds, fish and surroundings. The trip was just long enough to enjoy the tranquil nature, but not to long so that it becomes boring. I will surely do it again.

Excellent walk in Wilderness - Me and my 3 children had an excellent experience on this boat ride on the Touw River. The guide Cris was extremely kind and friendly and has a vast knowledge about the fauna, flora and attractions of the region. The tour allowed us to know the stunning natural beauty of the National Park, both in the most touristic part where there is the greatest human intervention, and in the inner part that is practically untouched by man
