 Borrow/Rent an outrigger
canoe by easyoar
If you don't have experience, make sure you don't take any cameras that would be 'allergic' to water in the boat with you, or anything that might sink should it suddenly find itself in the water! Don't try and swap positions in the canoe once you set out unless you exercise extreme caution, unless of course you don't mind a dip! You are very unlikely to roll it over the side of the rigger, but the other side has nothing to brace the boat.
You'll need a boat, and at least one paddle, depending on how many people you have in the boat. Leave a Comment Theme: Kayaking/Canoeing

 Spearing coconuts at the
museum by easyoar
He had difficulty explaining in English to me, and told me to follow him. He went to a back room, and picked up this long thin spear thing and said you had to spear the coconut with it. He then took me to the tall poles and showed me what to do and gave me an opportunity to try. I was fairly pleased to be somewhere in the general direction of the coconut. He narrowly missed on several occasions.
I found this to be a very enjoyable experience as it was so unexpected, and the guard at the museum was so friendly and helpful. If you go there, it is worth asking what the poles are to see if you get the same demonstration!
This picture shows the security guard and his spear. The pole with the coconut is some distance behind him, and appears to be growing out of his head. He's a great guy and very friendly, if you see him, ask him about his sport!
