An unparalleled experience, the soul-calling call of wild animals and plants, the marvelous and magnificent karst landforms, slowly sailing on the calm water with a breeze on your face, and a deep dialogue with Mother Nature.

great overall experience including pick up and drop off from hotel lobby. the guide even brought along drinks and snacks in the kayak to serve us on rest stops (small “beach” areas). the mangrove is beautiful and the entire time was so peaceful. saw some monkeys, monitor lizard, and huge spider. the guide was very patient. always checking in. waiting. as well as helping take pics and share stories of what we are seeing. 3 hrs is a long time to kayak so prepare to have a workout!
