River excursions
Pirogues, yachts and 4-WD
We offer several river cruising excursions ranging from half-day Dolphin spotting tours around the estuary of the River Gambia to longer trips of between one and four days. The short half-day and full day trips are mostly carried out by modern private yachts converted for tourism purposes.
The longer cruises are carried out by exotic African pirogues fitted with powerful outboard motors. On these pirogues, passengers sleep on foam mattresses on the sundeck.

Most of these trips include a four-wheel component either for logistical reasons or to take tourists to places of interest distant from the river. These trips provide an excellent opportunity to see life along the banks of the great River Gambia, which is one of the most navigable in Africa.

Meet the people in their traditional environment and learn something about their history and culture. Enjoy their music and dance and sample the local food.
