Who we are

A family business on the edge of the world's largest mangrove forest

We are not an agency reselling someone else's trip. Our boats leave from Gosaba, our guides grew up on these islands, and our kitchens cook the fish our neighbours catch.

  • Licensed launches with life jackets, first aid and trained crew
  • Forest department permits, guide fees and entry included in every package
  • Stay options from eco huts to premium river-facing cottages
  • Transparent, all-inclusive pricing — no hidden extras on the boat

Experiences

Things you will actually remember

Beyond the checklist — the quiet creeks, the watchtower silence and the villages behind the embankment.

Mangrove Boat Safari

Slow-cruise the narrow creeks of the tide country on our licensed launches, with a forest guide reading every pugmark on the bank.

Royal Bengal Tiger Tracking

Watchtower sittings at Sudhanyakhali, Dobanki and Sajnekhali during the best hours, with binoculars and a naturalist on board.

Birding & Photography

Kingfishers, herons, brahminy kites and winter migrants. Dedicated slow-boat routes and early departures for photographers.

Village & Culture Walk

Meet honey collectors, fishermen and potters of Gosaba. Evening Bonobibi folk performance arranged on request.

Sunset Cruise & Bonfire

Golden-hour cruising on the Bidya river followed by a riverside bonfire with local snacks and live baul music.

Canning & Country Boat Ride

Ride a traditional wooden country boat through shallow channels — the quietest, closest way to see the mangrove roots.

Guest reviews

Trusted by travellers across India and abroad

Everything from the Godkhali pickup to the last meal on the boat was handled perfectly. We saw a tiger swimming across the creek on day two — our guide spotted it before anyone else.
Ananya Chatterjee · Kolkata
Booked the couple retreat for our anniversary. The river-facing cottage and the candle-light dinner were genuinely special, not a gimmick. Very warm hosts.
Rahul & Meera Nair · Bengaluru
Took 34 colleagues for a corporate trip. Exclusive launch, clean dormitories, and food that everyone kept talking about. The coordinator stayed with us the whole time.
