Before you go
- Everyone wears a life jacket on the boat, all the more if you cannot swim.
- The haor is a protected wetland: no plastic in the water and no loud music.
- Do not set out when a storm signal is up; do what the boatman says.
The distances, times and costs shown are rough figures. Road conditions, the season and prices move them up or down.
