Take a Family Trip and Visit the Mangroves of Sepang

Take a family trip on a kayaking tour along the Sepang River, visit our mangroves and learn about the importance of them to our ecosystem and why we should be protecting them more. Here at OutdoorGate, we have a kayak for your family trip and guides who will help make sure it is a memorable experience.

Why Kayaking is a Family Trip and Bonding Experience

Family trips together are known to increase family bonding and even more so between parents and children. But to add to this we set the kayak up as one child in front and parent in the back, both with a paddle. This means you will need to communicate and work together to move and go in the direction of the tour.

If your children are too young to control the paddle, we have a different kayak where they sit just in front of the parent. Once again, this allows good communication and the child 'to use' the kayak with the parents' assistance.

An Educational Experience Like No Other

Kayaking through the mangroves as part of a family outing is the perfect way for children and parents as well to learn about the fragile ecosystem. Children will learn about the different animals as well as be instructed on how to find them on the tour.

Make a Weekend of It and Extend the Learning

During the weekend you will have the time to also visit Sepang's other family activity, My Backyard Garden. This is a project of passion to educate and conserve butterflies. It is free to visit but they would like a contribution by buying food in the cafe or releasing a butterfly.

Make a Weekend of It and Stay on Our Floating House

Here at OutdoorGate you can put the weekend together yourself. Stay at theGrovey Floating House for both Friday and Saturday nights — a dormitory bed or the private room, breakfast included either way (prices on the Floating House page). Add a kayak tour on Saturday (see the session times on the kayaking page) and you have time to get properly close to nature. Visit our kayaking page to book a tour, or the Floating House page to book your stay.
