MANGROVE WILDLIFE CRUISE
HIGHLIGHT
The swamp sustains many different species of trees, the most important being the black and red mangroves, locally known as “bakau”. It’s used as piling in constructions and is also processed as charcoal. Plus, the area experiences tidal rises that leaves rich silts on which the mangrove thrives, giving rise to symbiotic relationship affecting all flora and fauna, aquatic life and coastal organisms. A haven for its inhabitants of reptilians to crustaceans and fishes: crocodiles, water monitor lizards, otters, mud skippers, mangrove crabs, prawns, edible jellyfish, shell fish, monkeys and more. The Irrawaddy or snubfin dolphin, inhabits the rivers, estuaries and shallow coastal areas as well. When seen, they swim and dive around open waters less than 30 metres deep.
Visitors will need a keen eye to spot the dolphins and they are best seen when they frolic near local fishing boats that are hauling in the catch!
