Activities

Ways to experience the mangrove

Pick the experiences that matter to you and we'll build the day around the tide chart.

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.
