Boat Trip on Basket Boats
Sitting on a small basket boat, weaving through the canals shaded by water coconut trees, you will admire the wild beauty of the coconut forest. The sound of the wind blowing through the coconut leaves, the sound of paddles dipping into the water, the chirping of birds… all create a fantastic natural symphony.
Try Your Hand at Fishing on the River
If you want to immerse yourself in the life of the fishing village, join the locals in casting nets on the river to catch fish.
