This was a great trip for an active, nature-loving person (me!). We started with a jungle trek in the National Forest to see the waterfall. It was challenging only because it was a bit slippery, but Kong was a great guide who helped me along the way so I didn't slip. We saw crabs, fish, dragonflies, moss, mushrooms, and lichen. It's short with minimal elevation. After the hike, I had mentioned that I wanted to try mangosteen, so Kong and the driver were nice enough to stop at several fruit stands along the way, but no luck. We then headed to our kayak put-in, and saw monkeys! We paddled quite a way through the mangrove waterways, and Kong pointed out a snake, several lizards and a water monitor. As an experienced paddler, I was so happy to be able to take my own kayak, but it was quite the workout! After we came back we had a delicious lunch of snapper, greens and cashew chicken. It was a wonderful day and now I need a nap. 😄
