An hour on the koi pond, just you two

About this experience

This is short and sweet. You sit in a styled boat on the resort's pond, surrounded by hundreds of koi, and feed them from the boat. A gourmet spread for two comes with it, sandwiches and pastries, plus two glasses of sparkling wine. You can book a day session or an illuminated evening one.

It is one of the few truly private experiences on this site: one couple, one boat, booked as one group of up to two. Halal food is available on request.

Be clear on the extras. The professional photographer, the drone photo and video, and the flowing gown rental are add-ons, booked and paid on top. Transport to the resort is not included. And the listing asks you to reconfirm availability after booking and to bring a passport or ID. Our view: it is a beautiful photo set more than an activity; if photos are not your thing, an hour is plenty.

• One couple per boat, nobody else on board
• Hundreds of koi around you, fed from the boat
• Two glasses of sparkling wine and a spread for two
• Day or illuminated evening sessions
• Photographer, drone and gown as optional add-ons

Tips before you book

• Reconfirm availability with the resort after booking. The listing asks you to.
• Arrange transport in advance. A driver for the afternoon makes it easy.
• Decide on the photographer or drone when you book, not on the day.
• Book the evening session for the lights, or the day one for colour on the koi.
• Bring a passport or ID, and arrive 15 minutes early.
