| Mangrove madness with RUM! |
Volunteer guides will be stationed all over the boardwalk to share about Chek Jawa's amazing wildlife. Fun for the whole family, there will be free colouring sheets and kids activities too!
The volunteers are eager to share about monkeys to wild boar, birds to butterflies, crabs to mudskippers, and fascinating plants of the mangroves and shores, some of which are rare elsewhere. If we are lucky we may encounter otters or even a dugong.
Volunteers have hand-carved stamps of Chek Jawa! Kids will get a 'passport' to collect these stamps!

Are there guided tours to Chek Jawa at other times?
