Caves observation and cruise with great meals - Was a good one. Really enjoyed the beauty of the nature, and cruise was quite satisfying. The team on the ship La Regina took a great care of me. My package included some kayaking into the cave one first day and little hiking on second. The suite/ room equipped with everything needed and had bath with scenery view, naturally) The food was delicious and staff very kind, attentive and guiding
