We were lucky as it looked like the rain would ruin our tour but the skies cleared and Praneeth kindly re-arranged our tour at the last minute. Easy for our driver to find Praneeth took us on a very interesting and productive bird watching expedition. We saw many different species, got some great pix and a in depth running commentary on the ecology of the mangroves and water ways. A refreshing king coconut drink and tasty banana rounded the trip out. The boat is sheltered from the sun (and rain) and very stable. Excellent value!
