FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is a Sundarban Boat Safari?

A Sundarban Boat Safari is a guided tour through the rivers, creeks, and mangrove forest areas of the Sundarbans aboard a licensed boat. It allows visitors to spot wildlife such as Royal Bengal Tigers, crocodiles, spotted deer, exotic birds, and more—all while floating through serene natural surroundings.

2. How is a boat safari different from a regular jungle safari?

Unlike typical jeep safaris, the Sundarban safari is done entirely by boat due to the deltaic terrain. It’s a slower, quieter, and more immersive experience as you cruise through tidal rivers and narrow creeks inside the forest.

3. Is the boat safari safe?

Yes. All boats used in Sundarban safaris are licensed and follow government safety regulations. Life jackets, forest entry permits, trained guides, and emergency measures are all included. Safety is our top priority.
