Transportation to Cai Point in Lac Bay, kayaks, water bottles, back rests and viewers (for the water) are all provided along with a guide that discusses the flora and fauna during this half day tour. Mollan, our guide, explained that the turtle grass we saw seemed to be dirty as it attracted dust which in turn kept the waters clear. She pointed out the upside down jellyfish that resided that way as they received enough nutrients from the influx of the water that there was no need for drifting around and having long tentacles. They actually looked a lot like sea anemones at first, until you noticed some of them turn sideways. And yes they have a mild sting, we were informed. The large red sea stars were abundant in the bay as there is no coral to hinder their movement.

Red Mangroves have roots that look like branches growing downward toward the water. Bright orange and purple sponges as well as mussels attach themselves to the roots in the water.

Birds included green egrets, snowy white egrets and the great white egrets that were prized for their plumage years ago resulting in dwindling numbers. We were also greeted by laughing gulls on the shore.
