Additional Information

We will embark on the adventure of stand-up paddling at Babin Beach, a serene sanctuary aloof from bustling tours. Once the introductory session concludes, we head towards Macou Islet via the Mangrove. Elevated on the paddleboard, gliding over crystal-clear waters, you’ll enjoy a unique perspective of the aquatic life and plants. In a lively, friendly environment, we’ll explore the startling wealth and intricacy of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin ecosystem. Discussions on the major roles of the mangrove, the species it harbors, and comprehensive knowledge on mangroves will be included. Stand-up paddling also paves the way for adventures in tight spots that are off-limits for boats, unveiling the inner beauty of the mangrove. This excursion ushers you through botanical tunnels shaped by drifting mangroves. Following this immersive journey into the mangrove’s core, a pause in a tiny bay for a refreshing homemade lemonade is well earned.

Location

Mangrove walk - It's a fun, peaceful and serene, educational activity, really very interesting. Our guide explained to us in detail the techniques for holding on to the paddle and maneuvering it, so as not to fail. Thanks to his advice we immediately knew how to move around on the water. He also gave us a lot of information about the fauna and flora of the place. The setting is idyllic.

Great morning paddleboarding and discovering the mangrove forest. - Fantastic morning paddleboarding. We both had some very limited experience of paddleboarding in a different environment and Matthieu was very patient and helped us get going. Much more important though was guiding us into the mangrove forest, explaining the ecology, pointing out what to see, (crabs, starfish, sponges, jellyfish, stingrays and and other fish), and how important the mangroves were to the local ecosystems, corals in particular. We learned a lot in a very short space of time. It was a unique experience, especially the homemade lemonade !
