Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrise is calm and cool, and the birds on the island are at their most active. Our sunrise trip starts at 5:30 am.

Evening brings golden light on the water and the sun dropping behind the palms. Evening island trips include snacks and chai.

The island is open from 6 am to 6 pm, so we plan island trips inside those hours. Best months for birds →
