What to expect
You'll start early to beat the tour buses at the floating market, then spend days moving between waterways by different boats—some motorised, some human-powered. Cycling connects you to villages where artisans still work by hand. Meals happen family-style, often at small eateries rather than tourist restaurants. Nights alternate between a homestay (basic but genuine) and a proper hotel. Expect humidity, boat rocking, and long sits punctuated by short walks. Your guide handles logistics; you focus on watching.
Good to know
Bring sturdy shoes for uneven surfaces and lightweight layers for sun and boat spray. Wheelchair users can access most spots but some homestay transfers require steps. Vegetarian and vegan meals available with notice. Minimum two adults per booking. Valid passport required. Travel insurance not included but strongly advised.
