Our guide, Se, was fantastic—full of interesting information (and some terrible jokes :)). His English was great and easy to understand. It was a nice experience and a relaxed afternoon out. The only downside was that the back seat on the boat was a bit uncomfortable, so be sure to avoid being picked up last and try to get off the boat quickly on the return!
