Kayaking in Havelock Island
The kayaking tour is one of the secrets of Havelock Island and has been very popular among tourists. While scuba diving and snorkeling are popular adventures here, kayaking through the mangroves gives you an entirely different experience.
You will set out in single or double kayaks to explore the mangrove ecosystem of Havelock Island, enjoying the peace and the chirping of birds. The trip lasts 1 hour, guided throughout by a professional kayak instructor.

Night Kayaking & Bioluminescence
Night kayaking is best planned around new-moon phases, when the darker skies make it possible to witness natural bioluminescence glowing in the water with every paddle stroke — a rare, magical sight found in only a few places in the world.
