There are eight free activities in total, and you can do two for each night of your stay, so a four night stay would allow you to do all of them. They are scheduled to run every day – two at dawn, two in the morning, two late afternoon and two in the evening. As well as these, there are a number of “special adventures” for which additional payment must be made. Many of these run to the same timetable, so it’s easy to mix and match, but if you do several of them you may find as we did that you don’t manage to do your full allocation of free ones – we did four rather than the six we could have done. It would have been possible to fit more in, if we’d done four things a day, but we decided three was enough as we wanted time to explore a bit on our own and also to relax and appreciate our surroundings.

The free activities we didn’t get around to doing were:
~ “Sunrise Canoeing”
~ “Jungle Dawn”
~ “Nature Walk”
~ “Night Walk”
I would really have liked to do the latter, but it was that or the crocodiles and in the end the crocodiles were the bigger draw!

Among the other paid-for activities are:
~ Native Fishing trip - $35 per person
~ Savannah Birding - $43 per person
~ “Mennonite Experience” (I would have liked to have done this had time permitted) - $65 per person (with lunch)
~ “Sunset Airboat cruise” (with cocktails on board – some other guests did this and loved it) - $45 per person
You could easily spend a week here and be busy every day!
