Step off the wooden jetty and the air changes—salty wind pushes through young fronds while the paddled canoe nudges into a fringe of roots. You start on firm sand, move through shallow black mud, and end the day watching newly planted seedlings bracing against an incoming swell.

Conservation
Planting restores coastal buffers and fish habitat; visitors are asked to avoid trampling young seedlings and to use reef-safe sunscreen to limit chemical runoff.
Reserve your spot on the Mangrove Reforestation and Exploration around the Nusa Islands today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Tide timing matters
Planting and boat sections are scheduled around low tide—arrive on time and wear low-ankle waterproof footwear.
Sun protection
Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are important even in cloudy conditions; the sun reflects off water and lime rock.
Expect mud
Bring shoes you can wash out or sandals with straps; mud can be thick and slippery when planting.
Hydration and refill
Carry a refillable water bottle; organizers provide water but having your own speeds breaks and reduces plastic waste.
Sturdy water shoes or old sneakers
Protect feet from mud, shells and mangrove roots while allowing quick drainage.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated throughout planting and coastal exploration.
Sun hat and reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects from prolonged sun exposure on open flats and boats.
