A soft, humid sunrise lifts off the mangrove canopy as the first paddles kiss Spike’s River. The Nerul’s water runs slow and dark here, pushing you downstream past tangled roots and low-slung branches that dare you to look closer. Shamrock-green kingfishers flit, and the occasional river otter slices the current with casual confidence.
