To Limestone caves
Some of the important items which people can carry along with them during this journey include sufficient water (atleast one litre per person), umbrella during summer season, head caps, napkins. Wearing canvas shoes is a better idea. These diesel country boats are not stable in the sea. A very slight tilt in the sitting position of any person inside the boat will make the boat to wobble and people will get scared. So, be careful during this journey while sitting. If children are sitting in the boat, take extra precautions to hold them.

Don't allow anybody to insert their hands in the sea as there may be chances of getting pulled into the water. There will be two boys in each boat. One boy will be handlling the engine and direction while the other person will be helping him. The end of this sea journey will be at the mangroves where the boat takes a left turn. In this area, the boat's engine will be kept off and will be sailed manually. This area is very narrow and the only way to enter and return back to sea.
