Into the mangroves with a guide who can read what lives in them.
Mangrove is the reason this coast has fish. The roots are the nursery: young fish shelter in them before they are big enough for open water, and the whole village economy rests on that.
You go in with a guide who can read it — which crab is which, what the birds are doing, why the water is the colour it is. It is the quietest thing on the list.
What you will see
- The mangrove root system, and what shelters in it.
- Crabs, mudskippers and the birds that hunt them.
- Kingfishers, including the mangrove kingfisher, and herons working the shallows.
- How salt water and fresh water meet, and what grows at each point along the way.
Worth knowing before you book
- The rate is per adult.
- The tide decides when it can happen. Reception will tell you the window.
- Shoes you do not mind getting wet, and insect repellent.
