We enjoyed mangrove canoeing in the morning and trekking in Kinsakubaru in the afternoon! The schedule may change depending on the tide. Even beginners can enjoy the canoeing with a detailed and easy-to-understand lecture. For environmental protection reasons, it is necessary to be accompanied by a guide at Kinsakubaru. I was very satisfied with the detailed explanations while observing plants and animals up close. The guide will take photos of both activities and send the data to you, so you can enjoy the tour without any help!
