KAYAKING
The most environmental eco-friendly water sport is kayaking in Andaman. The rainwater from the hills comes through the canals and mixes with the sea water of the gorgeous Andaman Sea. While flowing over the hills, these waters bring a lot of nutrients to help grow a very important ecosystem of the mangrove rain forest in these islands. These mangrove canals become wider in size when they meet the ocean. Most of the time, the waters at the entry point of a canal remains calm and suits well for kayaking to explore the magnificent mangrove life.
Kayaking in the Mangroves This water sport activity is highly recommended to those who love spending time in nature as well as watching wildlife animals. There are two types of mangrove species available to spot while kayaking through the canals in south Andaman. These are listed below.

NIGHT KAYAKING

Some species of algae, phytoplankton along with squid, shrimp, and a few fish too have a God gifted extraordinary defense system, That lets them emit lights due to a chemical reaction where the chemical energy is converted into light energy, and they start sparkling. Each time you paddle, these tiny micro-living organisms come in contact with the surface of the paddle and spark, This is how you see the attractive natural phenomena during dark in the evening. Mid-October till May-end is considered the best time to watch Bioluminescence and it is recommended either between after sunset and before the moonrise or between after the moonset and before the sunrise of every day.
