For those looking for a bit more adventure, head to Kubang Badak River for a guided kayaking experience. Upon arrival at the jetty, you'll receive a safety briefing and basic kayaking tips; perfect for beginners. After strapping on life jackets, participants will board the kayaks one at a time, ready to set off on a leisurely paddle through the calm, scenic river toward the open sea.
As you kayak at a relaxed pace, your guide will share fascinating insights about the mangrove forest’s rich, delicate ecosystem. These winding mangrove roots serve as nurseries for countless species that thrive in the ever-changing tides. Along the way, keep a lookout for sea eagles, brahminy kites, kingfishers, herons, monitor lizards, mudskippers, and fiddler crabs.
The route includes a visit to the remnants of an old charcoal kiln, offering a glimpse into the traditional craft of mangrove charcoal making. You’ll also stop at Pinang Cave; an ancient sea cave formed when ocean levels were 25 meters higher than today.
The adventure wraps up with a relaxing swim at Jemuruk Island’s peaceful beach. On the return to the jetty, you’ll stop at a floating restaurant to enjoy a delicious local lunch; an ideal way to end this memorable day.
