Navigation proceeds along the creek in the Indian Ocean: areas of pure white sand, unique landscapes, herons, ospreys, mangroves and much more. Depending on the tides, you can stop to look for the starfish that, due to the particularity' of the area, are common and of different species: puffer fish, porcupine fish, and with a little luck the beautiful pink flamingos.
