Sea Mangrove Kayaking, Langkawi
This off-the-beaten-path tour led by our friend and naturalist, Juergen, will bring you or rather, have you paddle into small and narrow mangrove forest canals, leading to secret caves.

It's not a very well known tour so you can enjoy this rare adventure since you stumbled on to this!
