About this tour
Paddle through Bali's mangrove waterways on a guided two-hour canoe trip that doubles as conservation work. You'll navigate narrow channels beneath dense canopy with a local guide, spotting birds and fish whilst your participation supports fishermen-led ecosystem protection in Wana Segara Kertih. It's a chance to see working mangrove life up close and contribute to sustainable tourism that benefits the community directly.

What to expect
Expect roughly 90 minutes of actual paddling through shallow, sheltered water. Your guide will point out mangrove root systems, explain how the forest filters saltwater and supports juvenile fish nurseries, and share stories of the fishing families who work these waters. The pace is leisurely—you're not racing, just moving quietly enough to spot wildlife. Tides and weather can alter or cancel trips, so flexibility matters. Bring water, sunscreen and a change of clothes; the canoe stays dry but splashing happens.
