About the trip

The creek behind the retreat winds into the mangroves, a nursery for half the sea life on the reef. At high tide you can paddle deep into the channels and drift over juvenile lemon sharks, turtles and schools of tiny fish in the roots.

We hand you a kayak, a map and a tide time, and you go at your own pace. Departure times follow the tide, so we'll confirm yours the day before.
