Description
Meet your guide, Omari, who is passionate about preserving the mangroves around this area that he calls home. He has incredible knowledge about the various bird species in the area. Sail through the waters, meet the villagers, and watch the sun set over the mangrove creeks. This experience is the ultimate way to relax as the sun goes down. Impact Created: + Supporting a Hidden Gem: this spot is off the beaten path yet a number of villages surround it and rely on the area for income. + Local Employment: the canoe is locally hired and so is the captain, this empowers the local community but is also great for the traveler who can benefit from immense knowledge about the place. + No Engines: the Canoe is powered by human energy (the captain rows and you can if you wish!) which means no engines and no dirty fumes entering the water. + Community: this trips funds will trickle down into the community aiding healthcare, employment and education.
