What to expect
You'll head into the bay mud where solid ground gives way without warning. Your guide reads the terrain and shepherds you through patches that grab your feet and calves. Some people panic; others laugh. Either way, you're not alone—the guide spots trouble early and wades in to help. Expect to lose shoes, get genuinely stuck for a few seconds, and feel your legs work hard to pull free. It's messy, slightly scary, and absolutely memorable.
