5 DAYS LUXURY KAYAKING SAFARI |
| |
The kayaking safaris are set in one of the most beautiful parts of Asia, where sheer karst rock formations drop down into the deep blue surrounding waters. Stunning white beaches and coves compete with mangroves, jungle and spectacular reefs and corals for attention. The best way to discover these unexplored islands is in
small group kayaking tours where guests spend their days kayaking, snorkelling, photographing and learning more about the environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to visit the area and interact
with the outstanding bio-diversity including rare and unusual marine life, flora and flora and of course the local geology. |
