A treasure trove of lush Hikage Hego and ferns. You can hear the murmuring of the mountain stream and see the creatures that change with the seasons up close. Feel free to lie down on the ground and experience the sensation of being "buried" in the sounds of the babbling brook and the birdsong. (Approximately 30-40 minutes) 10:10 Return to Utoro Base. Use the restroom, etc. 10:20 Put on your life jacket and practice kayaking. 10:30 ★ Depart for a mangrove cruise from the designated departure and arrival point! Mangrove kayaks depart from the designated dock at Utoro Base. After a graceful cruise down the large river flowing into the mangroves, you'll venture into the narrow, intricate waterways and head deep into the mangroves. Even first-timers will receive a thorough instruction, so you can participate with confidence. (Approximately 90-100 minutes) 12:10 Return from the mangroves. 12:30 Exchange photo data and disband.
