On days 3,4, and 5, guests have the option to do anything they would like, at any time, 24/7 around the clock. Your guide will be with you full time, and at a moment’s notice, any activity can be planned for, and you can have that experience. You can wake up for a sunrise boat ride every day, or you can sleep in. This is your tour, and we are going to make sure it is the most memorable experience.
