Nice clean boardwalk, Disability friendly. Peaceful walking through the mangroves.

Lovely walk. Essentially a paved path that includes boardwalks over the rivers. Track loops around a wetlands area. We didn't see any crocodiles on the walk but beware as this is croc country and they are great at hiding.
