The journey sets off along a sea route, leading to the mangrove point, where the adventure unfolds. An experienced guide accompanies the group, ensuring comfort and addressing any needs that may arise along the way. It’s advisable to bring refreshments to stay energized during the excursion. Children are welcome to join in the kayaking experience, with consideration given to their age and physical build.
