Discover the abundant and lush nature of Malaysia on a river kayak tour down Lebam River. Leave Desaru behind, take a short boat cruise to your starting point, and paddle into mangrove forests, looking out for otters, kingfishers, and more.
After your pickup in Desaru, take a pleasant 15-minute drive to the fishing village at sungai lebam. Here, embark on a local boat that will take you and the kayaks further upstream of the Lebam River.
Sit back and relax on your boat as you cruise by a mangrove forest. This forest is highly adapted to the saltwater and tidal conditions, and see as the mangroves slowly give way to a predominantly Nipah Palm Forest.
Along your journey, keep a lookout for sea eagles, kites, kingfishers, herons, mudskippers, and fiddler crabs.
Quietly paddle along what is now a forest dominated by Putat or Barringtonia and pandanus plants. Look for wild ducks, herons, and if you are lucky, otters, too.
After your paddling adventure, rendezvous with your safety boat and relax on the return journey to Lebam Jetty. We make a quick stop at Desaru Fruit Farm shop for a chance to purchase fresh fruits before journey back to your hotel by road transport.
