The FloatHouse River Kwai Resort is a fancy boutique floating resort. The only way to reach the resort is by boat as it actually floats on a flowing river surrounded by thick green jungle. Each villa is totally private and rich in custom tailor-made teakwood furniture with thatched roofing. The design is a "contemporary boutique fold style". It floats on the River Kwai amidst tropical forest and mountains in Saiyok district in Kanchanaburi. This river is in western Thailand, near but not over the border of Myanmar.
The floating restaurant is in the middle of the villas for easy access. It offers a variety of breakfast delicacies with a combination of local specialties. Named the Pontoon Restaurant after the floating concept, it serves International cuisine specializing in Thai. The bar is in the same area as the restaurant and it serves red and white wines, sparkling cocktails, chilled beer and soft drinks.
Each floating guestroom features a private balcony and sundeck. They are all connected with a spacious common space.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
Really enjoyed Thatch Caye. The staff was great. Really liked our guide Raffi. And snorkeling at night was wonderful.

The persons I spoke with knew the material. I wont know until I actually take the trip if it was all correct but at this point they were helpful in finding a trip that met my criteria

Creating a checklist was very beneficial and meeting objectives on certain dates helped as well (to keep my trip organized). The Adventure Travel personnel helped keep me on track which is why my trip was so successful. Communication from both travel agencies (AT/MT) was vital.

This is an amazing company to work with. I generally do not use tour companies as I am more of an independent traveller so I was slightly reticent. They were fantastic from the start - 10/10 - from lining up a phone call to discuss requirements, then their ongoing communication in the lead up to the tour and during it (thank you, Franny and Phen). They also explored cost-effective options (eg group transfers). The tour was in Patagonia so Adventure Life organised a pickup from the El Calafate airport to the El Chalten accommodation, two day hikes with a private guide and then to the El Calafate accommodation. A tour coordinator came to the hotel to explain, using the maps, what was involved in each day tour and what should be expected, and patiently answered all questions. The tour guide Marcos was excellent - very professional, knowledgable, communicative and at all times felt very safe with his navigational skills (important in the Patagonian wilderness). On the second day I forgot to take hiking poles so Marcos kindly gave me his. I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing and would happily recommend and book through them again.

Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.
