September 2026Woke up to karsts outside the window
Cabin was small but clean, kayaking through the limestone arches in the afternoon was the highlight, and the seafood dinner on board was excellent.

June 2026Cancelled excursion, no alternative
The kayaking was called off for weather, which I accept, but nothing was offered in its place and we sat on the boat for four hours. The cabin and the food were good. The handling of a lost afternoon was not.
