• Trips: Each night the houseboat sleeps at different islands/dry land areas where it's safe.  The more days you book, the further the houseboat can move up/down river.  

• Fishing: Fishing is allowed from March to December.  Please inform the guide when and what time exactly you wish to go out fishing.  Please be open and reasonable to accept the guide's advise.  They do know the river and have instructions to adhere to the general rules of the river, as well as to keep you safe.

• Fishing Tackle: Fishing rods and lures can be rented at P200 each per day.  The guests will be responsible to pay for any breakages or lost items.
