Preparation
カヌーの操作方法を練習してから、川に浮かべたカヌーに乗り込みます。 基本的にカヌーはタンデム艇（2人乗り）を使用するので、一緒にカヌーを漕ぐパートナーの組み合わせはガイドと相談して決めましょう。
カヌー(約45分)
始めのうちは右往左往しますが、慣れてくると徐々にカヌーをコントロールできるようになります。コツは視線を遠くにです！ マングローブが生い茂る緑一面の景色を堪能しながら漕ぎ進んでいくと、いつのまにか前方にピナイサーラの滝が見えてきます。
上陸(約10分)
上陸して手足を伸ばして体をほぐしましょう。 周辺を散策するとサキシマスオウノキに出会えます。板根（ばんこん）と呼ばれる板状の見事な根っこが特徴です。
カヌー(約45分)
帰路に着きます。 来た時と同じルートを漕いでスタート地点へ戻りましょう。
