Activities to do whilst on a Pandaw River Cruise

PANDAW ACTIVITES

The Pandaw Activities are designed to add an extra dimension to your Pandaw expedition. Whilst our standard daily excursions are curated to provide a unique and entertaining insight into life in Asia and India, we understand that some guests may prefer to skip the scheduled tour and try something different instead. As such we have put together a suite of unique experiences to suit all tastes across our various destinations which can be added to your expedition to enhance your trip even further. More details and additional activities will be added throughout the year, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
