Divar Island Backwaters was a great family outing The tour was safe and clean, which is a big plus for us. The kids loved spotting birds and dolphins, and the guides were very helpful. However, it's not wheelchair accessible, so that's something to consider. Overall, a fun and educational experience for the whole family. 👍(thumbs up emoji)
