Bring your own towel and water because neither is included. Before paying, ask about weight restrictions and any medical, swimming or accessibility requirement that affects you.

Nature along the route, without guaranteed sightings

The operator mentions possible sightings of tropical fish, birds, rays, starfish and other wildlife.

No particular species is guaranteed, so the paddling and mangrove scenery should be treated as the core experience.
