Kayaking & Boating
The most interesting area is the northwestern part of the park, where the watery labyrinth of channels is most extensive. The best way to get a taste of the marshland is by kayak or boat. Paddling through narrow, snaking channels and ponds with water so crystal clear you can see fish and plants to a depth of 2m is a highlight of a trip to the park.
