A healing mangrove kayak experience at a point that is not well known even locally! The tour will be tailored to high tide (high tide time and meeting time change daily) At low tide (time when the tide is low), the area around the mangroves will be dry, such as shallows and sandy areas. The area around the mangrove forest is narrow due to the widening water area.
