<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Take a kayak and head up the river with local guide, Notshana. Be enveloped in the peace of the river broken only by the birds and the gentle dipping of paddles. The river is a perfect vantage point to see the thick forest, birds and leguaans. This is a perfect activity for a cloudy day. </span></div>
