If you need a break from the beach, in parts with trees coming right down to the water as in the photo above, hikes through the tropical forest and
nearby mangrove swamps satisfy the need to get out in nature.
Other types of wildlife are equally abundant
in nearby mangrove, river, and forest habitats.
Head out on guided snorkelling trips and glass - bottom boat excursions accompanied by our resident marine biologist, Johnny Singh, or explore
the nearby mangroves and rain forests on a nature hike.
Holiday - makers love it for its quiet charm, and the spectacular combination of jungle adventures in
the nearby mangrove forests (a protected national park) plus the outstanding snorkelling and diving in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef located just 500 metres offshore.
From here we will continue to El Garrapatero beach where we will have the opportunity to relax on the beach, swim in the ocean or kayak to explore
the nearby mangroves.
Nopparat Thara National Park Headquarter is right next to the fishing village and provides information to people who would like to explore
the nearby mangroves by long - tail boat or sea kayak.
The nearby mangrove from which the resort takes its name can be explored using one of the resort's own kayaks.
There are kayaks to go around
the nearby mangrove.
