Sundarban Day Tour Itinerary

This is the typical flow of the shared Max Adventures Day Tour. It helps you understand the length and rhythm of the day, but the final route and timing always follow traffic, tide, weather, forest permission and operating conditions.

  1. Before pickup

    Prepare for the day

    Report at the selected pickup point approximately 15 minutes before pickup. Carry the identification and guest information requested in the booking instructions.

  2. Approx. 6:30–7:30 AM

    Scheduled Kolkata pickups

    The shared vehicle follows the confirmed pickup sequence. It cannot wait indefinitely because the boat and confirmed programme depend on reaching Godkhali on time.

  3. Morning road journey

    Travel to Godkhali

    Travel through the eastern/southern Kolkata corridor and onward toward the Sundarban gateway. The exact road time varies with traffic and local conditions.

  4. 9:30–9:45 AM

    Board Max Adventures

    Board Max Adventures at Godkhali, complete crew instructions and begin with welcome tea/biscuits.

  5. Around 10:15 AM

    Breakfast and cruise

    Breakfast is served as the boat proceeds through the river landscape.

  6. Late morning

    Confirmed forest or river programme

    If the forest-permit programme is confirmed, a Forest Guide accompanies that component and a permitted forest/watchtower programme may be included. No named watchtower is guaranteed unless specifically confirmed. If permission is unavailable, an alternative Sundarban river and mangrove route may operate without a Forest Guide being automatically included.

  7. Around 11:30 AM

    Snack

    A freshly prepared snack is served onboard as the journey continues.

  8. Around 1:30 PM

    Bengali lunch

    Lunch is served onboard. Menu and service timing can vary with route and operating conditions.

  9. Afternoon

    Mangrove waterways and return cruise

    Continue through the available waterways at a pace appropriate to the day’s route, tide and permissions.

  10. Around 3:30 PM

    Tea and snacks

    Afternoon refreshments are served while returning toward Godkhali.

  11. Around 4:30 PM

    Disembark and start for Kolkata

    Board the return vehicle after the boat reaches the jetty.

  12. Around 7:30–8:30 PM

    Kolkata return

    The final time varies with traffic and drop sequence.

Tuesday itinerary

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.

Read the Tuesday guide

Why the itinerary remains flexible

In the Sundarbans, tide, weather, Forest Department instructions and permission availability are part of responsible operations. A permitted forest programme or an alternative river-and-mangrove route may be confirmed for the day.
