The Kubang Badak is a coastal river and we paddle in kayaks along the mangrove forest comprising a unique group of trees that thrive between the land and sea.
Your naturalist guide explains the mangrove ecology and its benefits to man and wildlife.
We often see spectacular kingfishers, sea eagles, kites, plovers, herons, fiddler crabs and mud skippers. We pass a local fishing station where local fishermen put to sea or return after a day out. Depending on the tidal conditions we begin at the coast and head upriver or begin upriver and head for the coast so we kayak with the flow of tidal currents.





The kayak journey lasts about two and a half hours, followed by a short drive and easy 500 meter hike to a secluded jungle stream for a picnic lunch and swimming in a cool jungle stream.
