Full description

Paddle through the mangroves where the landscapes and the wild life are the main attractions. Choose between 2 options, a 3 hours / 8km guided tour for begginers and enjoy the birdwatching (flamingos*, ospreys, ibis, herons, egrets and much more). The first part is a 1km trip close to the sandbar, then you’ll go to the entrance (Rio Kuka) to start a 6km circuit into the hearth of the mangroves channels.
