    Trail is closed. Extensive revitalization taking place here. Probably closed for at least 6 months. When it’s open, this is a nice place to explore the mangroves.

    This is an easy little elevated hike through the vegetation. The walkway is blocked off mid loop as it looks like a storm took out most of it. Lots of spiders and their webs, some birds.

    My wife and I spent an hour exploring the mangroves on individual kayaks. It was reasonably priced and the staff were really helpful as my wife was a first time ‘kayaker’. Would definitely do this...
