Floating with the Current

Distinctive experience

Floating with the Current

Float through quiet mangrove channels, carried by the current, surrounded by trees and sometimes by monkeys overhead. One of the most natural and unusual ways to experience the mangrove.

Overview

Floating with the Current

Floating is a different way to be in the mangrove. You're not on a path or in a boat, you're in the water itself, moving with the current through narrow channels lined with trees. Sometimes you let the current carry you, sometimes you swim a few strokes to navigate, sometimes you stop, lean back and just look up at the canopy. There are monkeys in the trees, birds passing through, the sound of leaves and water. It's playful and sensory. A perspective you don't get any other way, and it tends to stay with people. Throughout, your guide shares what makes this place tick, the species, the rhythms, what you're seeing. Basic comfort in the water is needed. At the end, a small campfire is set up on the shore to warm up. Ginger tea and fresh coconut are there if you want them.
