What to expect

Embark on an unforgettable adventure through dense mangrove forests, winding rivers, an estuary, sandbars, and serene shallow flats, culminating in an idyllic dolphin watch sandbar. The journey commences within a secluded and protected mangrove forest. Glide through slow-flowing, narrow mangrove-shaded tunnels, just wide enough to accommodate your kayak. As you traverse the winding waterways, be captivated by the diverse marine life and graceful waterfowl that call this ecosystem home. Stop at a grand sandbar often visited by dolphins and manatees. Sit on the edge of your kayak or take a leisurely swim if the tide permits. Recharge at an iconic waterside marina, where you can treat yourself to a lunch and refreshing drinks (available for purchase). Here, your guide will install the electric motor for your relaxing return route. Throughout the tour, be on the lookout for the abundant wildlife that inhabits the area. This expedition offers you a rare opportunity to explore sections of the coastal ecosystem that remain untouched by most people, making it an enriching and eye-opening experience that connects you intimately with nature's wonders.
