Your adventure begins at Tanji - approximately 30 minutes drive from the main tourist areas.
If you are a morning person, you will love the signature sunrise tour and enjoy the majestic view of the sun rising above the mangroves of the creek as you gently paddle in the tranquil nature. The trip usually starts at 7 a.m. If you prefer afternoon activities, the journey to catch the setting sun should begin by 4 p.m. at the latest. Enjoy the sound of birds singing and follow the keen eyes of your guides, who will introduce you to the bird species finding their home in mangroves. There is almost no chance to miss snakebirds, cormorants and African Darters; also, beautiful pied kingfishers are a common sight. If lucky, you might even find boasting in blue malachite kingfisher hiding in the airy roots of mangroves.
As you paddle towards the current and paddle away the passages of nature-created tunnels, you will catch a glimpse of the island, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or tea together with a light breakfast.
Ready to get your legs dirty? Follow the guides as they explain everything about mangroves and the healing mud of the creeks. Enjoy a swim in salty water or just relax on the picnic area of the island before your return.
Follow the guides on a one-hour journey back to the starting point, grabbing more opportunities to spot birds and monkeys or even monitor lizards and enjoying the calm nature sounds before returning to the bustling world. If you opt for a sunset trip, you will be able to enjoy the majestic colours surrounding the sinking sun on the horizon.
