KAYAKING
"Dip your paddle into the Andaman tales – kayak under the sun or stars, and let the island's magic unfold beneath your strokes."
Kayaking has become a popular activity in the Andaman Islands, primarily conducted in Havelock Island. Anticipated within a year, Port Blair may also offer this activity. Kayaking typically explores mangroves, guided by an expert. Before the journey, a brief training session familiarizes participants with paddling and kayak maneuvering. The excursion follows a sea route to the mangrove point.
