Mangrove Tour - What an amazing experience. It was a morning filled with many stops one more intriguing than the other. We also stopped for lunch as part of the tour. The highlight for me was the swimming at an Island in the Andaman sea. I highly recommend this if you are looking fir a unique adventure
