Overview

Spend time in the great outdoors as you explore the Mida creek area on foot and by canoe. Alongside a private guide, walk along a boardwalk that traverses mangroves and mudflats to reach your dugout canoe. Then, ride through the waterways like the traditional fisherpeople do, keeping your eyes peeled for local wildlife such as birds, sea turtles, starfish, and crabs.

When booking, please let us know whether you prefer to do the experience at low tide or high tide: Low tide: Longer walk, with the opportunity to explore the mudflats and observe their unique wildlife. The landscape is very distinctive and offers a particularly atmospheric natural setting. High tide: Less walking, as we enter the canoe from a point nearer the meeting point. If no preference is communicated, the experience will take place around 4:00 PM regardless of the tide, in order to allow participants to enjoy the sunset over the lagoon. PLEASE NOTE! From february 2026 The boardwalk is currently under maintenance and temporarily inaccessible to guests. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We had booked for Broadwalk and canoe ride, but unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Broadwalk. According to the guide, it was under construction for the holiday season. Quite disappointing, but the walk to the mangrove and the canoe ride were great.

Nice experience

It seemed liked we were completely alone in the entire creek. very peaceful place and a great chance to enjoy the nature during both low and high tides. our guides were amazing. tour is worth every penny.
