Here is the Wildlife River Trip that we went. You will be transported up the Cherating Mangrove River into the jungle far away from civilisation.

The experienced boatman, with their experience and excellent eyes for spotting wildlife, will start pointing out various wildlife such as water monitor lizards, tree lizards, snakes, a variety of birds, mud skippers, monkeys, etc...

We managed to snap some mangrove snake pictures as well as that of the other wildlife animals.

Come night time, the level of the river will rise and you will not be able to get under the bridge

More mangrove snake pictures. After which we saw a few other mangrove snakes with their distinct yellow strips on black body

We had already given up hope that we would see a family of 3 otters who had been spotted along the Cherating river recently until we met them as we were heading back! They were so cute and entertained us with their antics for quite sometime...
