Take a pirgoue to the islands
Rent a pirogue and spend the day on the water, gliding through the mangroves. then visit the island communities, where the people will very happily show you around. or visit the shell or bird islands, which are both very appropriately named.
Rent a pirogue and go fishing:
Take advantage of the proximity of the river and go fishing. there are a couple of hotels/campements that specialize in fishing expeditions. see the section on lodging below. but if you choose to stay at a different campement, the manager will be happy to help make arrangements.
