Middle Harbour Mangrove Explorer

Highlights

  • The Middle Harbour Mangrove Explorer offers you an amazing opportunity to learn and explore a beautiful and healthy ecological system. Assisted by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, you will use the high tide to your advantage and disappear underneath the lush canopy of the Middle Harbour Mangroves in the remote natural bushland of the Garigal National Park. As civilisation slips away the true beauty of our harbour and it's wildlife will open up before you. This guided experience will only run when there is a large morning high tide, as this will allow us to venture well in between the grey mangroves of Sugarloaf Bay, Scott's Creek or Bantry Bay Soak up the serenity while you enjoy a wholesome morning tea served at one of our favourite secluded spots or rafted up with the food served on the decks of our craft. This experience only runs on very high-tides, so we can get deep into the mangroves.
