What to expect
You'll spend three hours on the water at a relaxed pace suited to mixed ability paddlers. Your guide leads you through narrow creeks where mangroves overhang the water, pointing out dolphins and birdlife as they appear. You'll pass submerged shipwrecks and learn about the local ecosystem. Expect to paddle steadily but without rushing—the focus is on observation and comfort rather than distance covered. The waterways are sheltered and relatively flat, ideal for building confidence if you're new to kayaking.
