Your confirmed programme
Private forest visits are subject to permit availability and authority approval. The shared-tour minimum of 9 guests does not apply to private journeys.
When forest permission is confirmed, the applicable forest-permit arrangements and Forest Guide are included with that programme. A Forest Guide is not automatically included on an alternative non-permit route. An alternative river-and-mangrove programme may operate when permission is unavailable.
Max Adventures operates on Tuesdays. The permitted forest and sightseeing programme may differ from other days and is confirmed before booking according to current Forest Department instructions, tide, weather and operating conditions. The booking page identifies the Tuesday Alternative Route Programme; a returned fare or available place does not confirm the usual forest programme.
No named watchtower or wildlife sighting is guaranteed. Routes may change with tide, weather, authority instructions and operating conditions.
Your next adventure starts with a date.
Review availability, your group’s price and the confirmed inclusions. A booking request becomes a reservation only after the required process and express confirmation by Max Adventures.
