The sunrise mangrove tour was a beautiful experience. Groovy Floating House is located near a unique and extremely beautiful mangrove river with tons of active wildlife (monkeys, giant lizards & otters!!) that live near the waters of the house.

Thank you so much, Vincent and Art, for such an amazing experience! From the very first WhatsApp booking until the day of the activity, everything was so smooth and well organised. Even someone with zero kayaking experience like me didn’t feel too nervous (haha!).

Amazing sunrise kayak tour! The scenery was beautiful and peaceful. Our guide was really great : she really cares about the environment and knows everything about the ecosystems and the wildlife. We were lucky to see egrets, eagles, monkeys, crabs and monitor lizards.

Went on the River Exploration with outdoorgate gate Sepang Mangrove Nature Tour and it was one of the most surreal nature days ever. From start to finish, the vibes were just immaculate — like, imagine gliding through a natural green tunnel, birds chirping, and the water reflecting all that lush…

Aivee and her teammates are very friendly. With the simplest explanation, each of us can learn how to master the skills in the shortest time. This is a great and very good experience. I will definitely come back to find them again.

Had my best father & sons activities. Can't believe there is such a gem with just an hour drive from KL. Learned so much about our mangrove forest through this kayak expedition, thanks to our nature guide Ms Ai Vee. Truly recommended for family with kids.

My friend back from Japan with her son asked if we want to join them the kayak tour because her son need to do assignment for his biologist class. Me, my husband and our son joined, all of us were so happy, it's our first time kayaking and we have a wonderful time and great experience.

I signed up for the sunset kayak tour with my kids, no regrets! Quiet, serene, safe, educational and pizza made with firewood. Good for family with young kids, mine ranges from 6 to 19 years. There's 3 seater and 2 seater kayaks.

My husband and I looked into this mangrove kayaking trip and it was incredible. They told us that they have other trips they offer as well in different parts of Malaysia and they can set it up for you if you contact them. We did the sunset trip that included dinner.

Booked a 2-nights stay at the Grovey House. The sleeping pod is comfortable, the house is clean and wonderful. We went for a sunrise and sunset kayak and they were amazing! Aivee is a wonderful guide, making sure everyone are safe and enjoying their time.

Thank you Coach Art and Ai Vee for the super nice kayaking experience with OutdoorGate Solutions! It was such a special activity, exploring the mangroves from the inside rather than just looking from the outside. A truly immersive experience that let me slow down and escape from the busy city life!

I came here with my friends to have a short getaway from work. So instead of just chilling and BBQ-ing, we have mangrove kayak tour as a great activity to enjoy the experience.

We've been traveling around Malaysia for a while now and, to be honest, many places left us a bit disappointed — so we came into this trip with zero expectations. But wow, Outdoorgate Solutions truly blew us away!
