About this experience
What to expect
Navigate through narrow channels where the mangrove canopy creates a natural tunnel. Listen for the call of tropical birds and look down into the clear, shallow water to see thousands of tiny fiddler crabs and juvenile fish darting between the roots.
After your kayak journey, transition to the land for an intimate village experience. Walk with your guide through the village paths. See how locals traditionally build their homes using coral rag and red earth, and you may even have the chance to try your hand at weaving a palm-leaf mat.
Discover the medicinal uses of local plants and the historical importance of the baobab trees that tower over the village. Finish your tour with a refreshing seasonal fruit snack or a fresh coconut, shared in the shade of a village veranda.
