Briefings are held in the evenings to compare wildlife sightings and bird lists and to preview the next day's hikes and activities. There is a lounge with snacks and soft drinks and books about destinations. There are youth activities on certain voyages. Smoking is allowed only on the sun deck. Nature excursions are gauged to the mix of passengers who are on board, with some long difficult treks for those who wish, and level strolls for those who prefer that.
Most landings are wet ones by zodiacs.
Several hikes are through gloppy muddy terrain so bring along boots or an old pair of canvas shoes. All nature walks are led by guides, one of whom communicates with birds and monkeys with a variety of calls. Beach excursions provide swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking time. Fares include transfers, port charges, shore excursions, water sports, all wine and cocktails. There is a 10 percent discount for early booking.
