Paddle a small guided group through the still, mirror-black channels of Mitan Pond's mangrove forest, spotting herons and land crabs in a hushed ecosystem most cruise passengers never see.
What to expect
You launch from a quiet put-in near Deshaies and paddle into a tunnel of mangrove roots, where the guide points out juvenile fish nurseries, crabs, and birdlife. The water is glassy and shaded, a sharp contrast to the open bay. It closes with a swim break at a hidden sandy stretch.
