Kayak Through The Mangroves

Sure the beaches are great, but if you’re in The Andamans, it’ll be folly to skip exploring the mangrove forests. All the rivers lead to the ocean, so you’ll essentially be kayaking upstream to begin with. No prior training required, but you’ll need some muscle power to row. The mangroves are vast, and the guided tours take about three hours from the Havelock port jetty, and back. This too can be a magical experience if done post-sunset as there are plenty of bioluminescent bacteria in the waters. This means, when your paddles touch the waters, these creatures light up and leave a trail of magnificent blue on the surface of the water. It’s quite the romantic experience too.
