Who is this walk for?
New visitors to the park, including children.
The relaxing walk will be conducted only within the vicinity of the Visitor Centre - the main bridge, main hide, mangrove boardwalk and part of Route 1 (yellow-boxed area in the map below). A specimen station from the Raffles Museum collections will be situated in the Visitor Centre.
What will you hear about and see?
Hear stories about the animals, plants and the ecology of mangroves. It will be a receding tide and you will see tree-climbing crabs, mudskippers, drills, Neritas, water monitors, Archer fish, Mullets, Halfbeaks and Garfish. Learn about economic uses of the plants and animals in the region, Mandai mangroves, the invasion of WWII and enjoy the view of Johor.
It's also time for the migratory birds that have winged down from the north and if in luck, we will see the gems - the resident family of Smooth-coated otters and the crocodile!
