Myself and my 11 yrs old twin boys went on this trip. Words can not describe how fantastic it was. I was a little bit apprehensive that the boys were a bit young but they had a fantastic time. I can not fault the trip in any way. All the expedition guides were amazing. The crew and hotelier staff were so friendly, kind, helpful and happy. They made our trip even more special.
