It was the most challenging activity I\u2019ve done in a while. Wow\u2026 paddling in tandem counter current is not easy with 20 other kayaks around you. We kept bumping into each other and bumping into mangrove trees. It was a blast, and thankfully we got to see the bioluminescence even though the weather was not favorable for the phenomenon to occur. Unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t able to take any pictures during the tour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week, we will plan a zipline tour above the rainforest canopy that I cannot wait to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8162\" width=\"689\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bloguelangues.cecm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ce3eade7-f9ff-40df-837b-b5d5c0022f90.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already 4 weeks\u2026 Time flies at light speed.
