Okukubi River Mangroves — Attraction in Kin

Nice peaceful area that has a boardwalk trek, playground area, a few places to eat, some shops, and bathrooms. Things to know: it is 400Y for adults and 200Y for children to walk the boardwalk. To me, this was overpriced as it is a half mile trek on the actual boardwalk and if you do the Loop it is along the road. It would have been nice to have some kind of check off sheet for the different animals we saw- like a scavenger hunt for the kids.

There’s a parking lot near the dam and at the entrance of the park. There are bathrooms at the parking lot near the dam & a picnic area with some shade spots. It’s a very clean area and hopefully all who visit will keep...
