Sunset Canoe Tour on a River within the Mangroves
Description
Meet your guide, Omari, who is passionate about preserving the mangroves around this area that he calls home. He has incredible knowledge about the various bird species in the area. Sail through the waters, meet the villagers, and watch the sun set over the mangrove creeks. This experience is the ultimate way to relax as the sun goes down. Impact Created: + Supporting a Hidden Gem: this spot is off the beaten path yet a number of villages surround it and rely on the area for income. + Local Employment: the canoe is locally hired and so is the captain, this empowers the local community but is also great for the traveler who can benefit from immense knowledge about the place. + No Engines: the Canoe is powered by human energy (the captain rows and you can if you wish!) which means no engines and no dirty fumes entering the water. + Community: this trips funds will trickle down into the community aiding healthcare, employment and education.

Very pleasant boat tour on the Congo River. We saw some birds, crabs, and lungfish, and Omari explained everything expertly. The sunset was the most beautiful part 🌅 We took a Tuk-Tuk from the hotel (be sure to negotiate beforehand, as the drivers otherwise demand excessively high prices). It was our last day of vacation, making it a wonderful conclusion. Highly recommended.
Thank you so so much! So glad you appreciated the thriving biodiversity and Omari's wonderful guiding. Appreciate you taking the time to write this!
Omari literally tells the story of the Kongo River, accurately describes the flora and fauna, takes the time to fully enjoy the moment
A good experience. A quiet and very nice place to enjoy!!! The Omari guide very attentive and friendly. A recommended excursion to relax for 2 hours
It was such a nice and relaxing moment on the river ! i could enjoy the calmness and it was really healing! The chill spot where we had a break was phenomenal !
Omari was a wonderful and knowledgable guide. Like many touristic activities in the area, you have many choices of boat and guide, but that doesn'e mean you get the same experience. I would highlighy recommend going with this one for a beautiful, educational tour through the mangroves, where safety, respectful engagement with the environment, and a comprehensive understanding of the area and its communities are a priority!
The experience was great. Amori, our guide, had the background knowledge of the Mangroves very well and was interesting to here about it. He followed through until we had the transport back to our place which was very nice as well.
Omari took such good care of us. This was such a peaceful and beautiful tour of the mangroves. I encourage anyone to do this. Omari even waited for us to locate our driver safely. Perfect. Much gratitude!
Best place to visit and enjoy the nature, mangrove boat ride and exploring the Sun set..with the Best view ever.. it's an amazing activity that takes just an hour or two hours..
Beautiful and very suitable to relax and just enjoy nature. Watching with the trunk through the river and lots of birds and other animals is just great. Our boatman Josef also explained a lot to us and when he then steers the boat so calmly with the staff through the river, you come to rest very well.
We loved it, our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring we were always comfortable. The river is so beautiful and peaceful 😊
