Visit a community respectfully

Arrange a local guide and use public walkways. Houses, schools and religious buildings are part of everyday life, not open-access visitor exhibits.

Agree the boat journey

Confirm the fare, landing, route, safety equipment and return pickup before departure. Board carefully and follow the boat operator’s guidance.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
