A typical boat-based expedition covers many river miles, and allows access to more remote areas than a land-based trip. Several hours each day are spent in motoring rivers and waterways, with periodic stops at sites of interest. Every night is usually spent in a new location. The exact stops depend the lever of the water in the rivers, and the interests of the expedition participants they could include black-water lakes for fishing purposes, or a local village to trade for handicrafts or to see how the people live. Generally, a wide range of stops is included on any given boat-based trip, allowing participants to see and do a variety of things.
If you are fascinated with water and rivers, love boats or dolphins, enjoy incredible skies both day and night, or just enjoy sitting back and watching the scenery unfold, then a boat trip may be the right one for you. River boat trips can be very relaxing, and if you wish to avoid any strenuous activity, it is easy to do so and still have a rich experience. There are many short skiff excursions away from the main boat, giving you the opportunity to see additional sights and waterways, but without having to do much walking or hiking. If you do enjoy strenuous activity, however, there is still opportunity for that as well - hiking on some local trails, swimming, collecting aquarium fish, etc. If you want to mix boat- and land-based expeditions, it is possible to do so with one of our hybrid trips
