On the banks of the estuary, you’ll see the main protagonists of the mangrove ecosystem; the Sally light foot crab, as well as boa constrictors tangled in the aerial roots, silky ant eaters and monkeys in the upper branches and crocodiles slipping in and out of the water.

You will paddle under a lush canopy of rainforest, silently watching a spectacular variety of birds, snakes, crocodiles, ant eaters, and many groups of white face monkeys.

At the Damas Island Estuary, home to some of the most unusual types of vegetation on the planet, you will learn the importance of this delicate ecosystem. Mangroves thrive where the salt waters of the ocean meet the fresh waters of tropical rivers creating a periodically submerged forest of interlacing aerial roots.
