Description

The mangrove channel is the draw here: paddle through dense green walls, watch macaques from the water, then take the raised forest path to spot bright fiddler crabs. A two-person kayak puts you close enough to hear the roots creak and far enough from the road to forget it exists.

Independent rental suits confident paddlers who are happy navigating the river themselves. The route is straightforward, but it is the same mangrove scenery on the outward and return legs, so save it for a calm morning.

Longtail trips cover more water with less effort, though the engine noise rather defeats the point of listening for wildlife. Robin Hut is the guide to ask for on a guided outing, especially if you want the mangrove walk and waterways tied together properly.

The boardwalk through the forest is worth doing even after a paddle. Colourful crabs scuttle below the planks, and the muddy roots have assembled themselves into a sculpture garden with no interest in your timetable.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Allow time after the paddle for the 15-minute mangrove boardwalk; the crabs are easiest to spot by slowing down near the muddy root systems.
