What? A really really special space, where the river meets the sea in the most calming way. The river goes through a mangrove forest and passes by a Digo village.
When? Sunset, the colours are breathtaking. Although, you can easily spend a few days in this area exploring.
Why? Sail through the waters, meet the villagers and watch the sun set over the mangrove creeks. You can choose to also go for a swim in the river or clear seas – or both if the tide is right! Learn about the unique ecosystem and birdlife from the locals themselves.
How? Swimming costumes would be helpful if you want a dip, apart from that sit back and enjoy the ultimate ride. You can also plant a mangrove during this tour, with our mangrove expert guide!

Such an incredible peaceful and romantic trip, highly recommend. Also, Travel4Purpose communication was great!
We had a great time! The trip was peaceful and calm. Omari was a fantastic guide 👏
We had an amazing experience. Omari is knowledgeable and passionate. He loves his mangroves. I will definitely recommend him to whoever wants to see the sunset.
I found this trip after following T4P on instagram for a few months. We met Omari, our guide, who is an absolute gem! He explained about the river, the mangroves, the belief of spirits in the area and he even let us plant some baby mangroves.
He is so passionate about what he does even replying when we asked him what he gains from planting – “I do it because it makes my soul happy.”
100% would recommend this tour, a very relaxed, quite & slow paced tour that is helping locals do good for the area while promoting eco tourism.
Had such a wonderful experience going on a Canoe ride to the Kongo river with T4P – whilst drinking FRESH COCONUT! We had a 10/10 guide, Omari who a great story teller and was so knowledgeable about the history of region. Booking the trip with Sham was very easy and straightforward, she also checked on us throughout the day.
