What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the large shed on Weyba Esplanade near the walking bridge, where you'll receive a briefing and board setup. The paddle starts in gentle, knee-to-waist-deep water. Expect a steady-paced exploration of tucked-away channels, culminating in the highlight: paddling under the arching mangrove canopy. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but likely—stingrays glide beneath you, and various waterbirds inhabit the margins. The tour moves at a conversational pace; you're not racing.
Good to know
Bring swimmers, a towel, sunscreen, hat, and water. Moderate fitness required—it's a genuine paddle, not a float. Poor cardiovascular health makes this unsuitable. Public transport reaches the meeting point. Wear or bring dry clothes for after.
