C'est vraiment une activité que je recommande pour son côté nature, le calme dans la mangrove et la découverte des lieux. Vraiment magique et bien mieux que la découverte des lieux en bateau à moteur !

C'est une des activités qu'il faut faire pour découvrir l'île en prenant son temps et de manière originale et écologique. Aucun problème pour les débutants en paddle et même pour les enfants (ils sont assis devant) : spot idéal.
