Guided Mangrove Kayaking · Sepang
Slip into still tidal water and follow an expert guide deep into living mangrove — past feeding egrets, mud-skimming otters, and roots that have held this coast together for centuries. First time in a kayak or your fiftieth, you’re in good hands.
On the water
Your guide reads the river like a story — pointing out the mangroves that hold this coastline together, the wildlife that shelters in them, and the quiet channels most people never see. You leave knowing the forest, not just having paddled through it.
Paddle in the light you love: a morning tour for wildlife and stillness, or a sunset tour as the water turns to gold.
One of Malaysia’s natural wonders
The Sepang mangroves are a nursery for the coast — filtering water, sheltering wildlife, and standing between the land and the rising sea. From the seat of a kayak, you meet them at eye level.
Every tour is led by an instructor who’ll take you from “never held a paddle” to gliding confidently through the narrow channels — while sharing why this fragile ecosystem matters.
Simple, safe, and paced for enjoyment — here’s how a trip unfolds.
Meet your guide at Kampung Tanjung Mas, gear up, and leave the everyday behind.
Learn the basics on calm water. No experience needed — we start from zero.
Follow the tide through the channels — watch for eagles, kingfishers, otters and mudskippers.
Warm up, refuel, and — if you’re staying — settle in for a night on the river.
Everything’s taken care of
Every tour includes the gear, sports insurance, and a proper meal, so all you bring is yourself.

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.
Joey JanezicThank 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!).
fatimah amirahA wonderful and insightful kayaking experience! We had a fantastic time on this tour. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the mangrove ecosystem, making the trip both fun and educational. It is very kids-friendly, so it's a great option for families looking for an outdoor activity.
AYAmazing 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.
Clémentine ButourOverall: An excellent off the beaten path adventure through open water and mangrove jungles, led by a passionate and experienced guide (AiVee), full of exploration, and love for nature.
Jean VaneishaWent 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…
Summer StarAivee 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.
Jenny LohHad 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.
CK ChangI would give it a 5 because, as promised, they made the trip more enjoyable. They hired an experienced guide, ensuring that individuals unfamiliar with kayaking receive patient guidance.
Keewin TangaveluVery good morning activity. Kayaks are new and easy to manage. Guides are also thorough during briefing and knowledgeable about the mangrove landscape.
Veronica RajandraA beautiful experience for people who love wildlife and plants. You will learn a lot, while having a good time kayaking. The guides will try to give you the best time possible, doesn't matter if you're experienced or a total beginner. Have fun!
Chiara _188My 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.
Cheeryl ChangI 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.
Ted ChanBig shoutout to our guide yesterday! Super friendly and knowledgeable dude, made our kayak trip so much fun! Loved how he shared all about the mangrove trees and their impact - totally fascinating stuff! And thanks for the homegrown dragon fruit, wow! Best part of the trip, no joke.
chung zhao zheMy 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.
Emily PierschbacherBooked 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.
Dayang Nur Syamimi MusaThank 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!
Zhixuan ShehI had the most beautiful kayaking experience yesterday, it was both peaceful and filled with a sense of adventure. The journey through the mangroves was calming, with nature surrounding us in all her glory. What made the trip even more special was our instructor.
Nisha VelooEnjoyed the serene and beautiful mangrove river so much. Love the interaction and mindfulness during kayaking. Great guide Miss Ai Vee provided us with many new knowledge about mangrove and the wildlife animals in mangrove river.
Candice K.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.
Kimberly YongWe'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!
