Boat trip through the bolongs

Bolongs are waterways crossing the islands and mangroves of the Saloum Delta. When offered, a boat trip lets you observe banks, mangroves and birds from a respectful distance. Routes depend on tides, weather and departure point: agree the itinerary with a local boat operator.

Things to see and do

• Observe mangroves and waterways without disturbing them.
• Watch birds from a distance with binoculars.
• Ask the boat operator about tides and local uses of the delta.
