You can spend a day wreck-fishing in the creeks, the river mouth or the rolling the reefs for the "even bigger one".

If it's Barracuda, Lady Fish, Red Snapper, Grouper, Cassava, Captain Fish, Butter Fish, Sun Pat, Stingray, Guitar Fish, Cat Fish - to name but a few, just leave it to our experienced Gambian Crew to drop anchor - they are better than any Fish Finder - or if you prefer, have a lazy day cruising the calm waters of the creeks.

At the lodge you can see local women creating 'Tie Dye' and Batik or see how a Jembe Drum is
made using skills handed down over centuries.

Try your hand at archery with an authentic African bow or for the more energetic hire our new mountain bikes and explore.
