They used basket boats to move around like locals and now, travelers have a similar experience. During the ride, how people catch small crabs by the rob or fish by the net, make accessories with palm leaves, and the “dance” (boat spinning) absolutely can be expected. In 2009, the forest became a part of a Unesco World Biosphere Reserve.
