Exploring the area by boat, at leisure, a visitor can partake of the river lifestyle. Farmers and fishermen live on the edges of the rivers and canals, in structures made from whatever can be found. Cages constructed from bamboo often house fish under the homes.

Many activities take place along the river banks, with colorful floating markets enlivening the scene every morning at canal intersections. Photographers will keep busy! Cruising along the rivers on the roof of a boat laden with fish produce as the sun sets over coconut trees is an unforgettable experience.
