    It was my first camping experience, had a wonderful times in the tent house. The tent is well kept and the beds are very comfortable. Most importantly camp staff is very cooperative and provided best hospitality. I had an incredible experience and best memories of the kayaking session. They have a best instructor who can make you a professional in a day without any doubt....Forgot mention it's a pet friendly place, If you are a pet parent make use of this spot..... If you want to explore the real beauty of nature, Do vist without any doubts...

    Excellent place to experience something offbeat and unique in Tamilnadu. Took us about 4.5 hrs to reach from Chennai by motorcycle. Mr. Prabhu from MangroveBay was super friendly and welcoming. We had a couple of kayak sessions under his guidance and he was very affable, at the same time, cautious to avoid mishaps. We chose to stay in a tent. Though it was a little humid, We managed to sleep well. Highly recommended for people who like water sports adventure.

    For anyone looking for a short, adventurous camping experience, this is the perfect place! They offer kayaking and Stand Up Paddling (SUP) and tent stays. The tents and washrooms are neat and well-maintained. The kayaking instructors are friendly and trained and ensure our safety. They provide fresh, home cooked meals and have 2 lovely dogs who you can play with πŸ•. Overall, I would highly recommend booking an experience here! πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

    Came here for Rafting and stayed for the night as well. The campsite was clean and good. The staff here were really caring. The Rafting Instructors were good and knowledgeable. We went for Rafting in the Evening for around an hour and it was very enjoyable. The dinner was simple but very good. Did stargazing in the night. The night time was pleasant and nice. We had a very good time here.

Though we were there just for a day every moment spent was memorable.. Right from the evening kayaking session.. dinner.. campfire.. tent stay.. early morning kayaking session.. with two super sweet trainers.. Every penny paid is worth it..

    First of all I need thanks to my close buddy Abhijith for wonderful and memorable trip he planned for Mangrove bay Ecocamp. It is an incredible spot. It will connect with nature with lots of love & a positive vibe, and Mr.Kumran, instructor and geological specialist, was an extremely knowledgeable person, an experienced coach for kayaking & stand-up, paddling, a very kind and humble person. Mr. Kumaran and the crew have well-trained staff Β to teach kayaking & stand-up-paddle ,following with safety precautions. They took care of each and everyone with love and care. The food was amazing and we had a delicious dinner and breakfast.Special thanks to Payal for the BBQ and it was so delicious and tasty. Mangrove bay Ecocamp is a wonderful place with lots of memories. Thanks Mr.Kumran and Abijith.

    Excellent location with great instructors for kayaking and stand-up paddle. Quiet place away from noise and light pollution where you can camp and watch the night sky. If you're booking a stay, the tent option is the best. Your tent is almost at the edge of the river.

    I want to express my heartfelt thanks to MangroveBayEcoCamp/Paddleforfuture and Exotic Camp for curating such a truly enchanting and exclusive camping experience at Pichavaram! Being the only campers added to the magic, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the stunning location and thrilling kayaking adventure. The caring instructors/host ensured our safety throughout, making it a truly intimate and memorable journey. Though we faced unexpected rains and a slight room change, the morning view compensated splendidly. Spotting exotic birds and animals heightened the wonder of our adventure. While the dining experience had room for improvement, the overall journey into nature's wonders was simply unforgettable! β›ΊπŸš£πŸžοΈπŸŒ„πŸ¦πŸ¦“πŸŒŒπŸŒŸ

  • 5/5 Siva K. 1 year ago on Google
    We went as a group of 6 families with children’s and 2 yr old kid also. We were anxious initially with our new generation kids. They thoroughly enjoyed it, without any modern amenities. Excellent concept, close to nature.5/5 Excellent staff and very helpful. 5/5 Safe , if ur just listen to them and don’t be heroic . 5/5 Zero pollution. Tips: Reach early by 1.30 or 2 noon and do the evening kayaking session. So u can select for the next day morning session also as per ur liking. Don’t miss the evening session. Get ur camping kits if u have one. Get some board or card family games. Experience the nature , early morning sun rise is superb.

  • 2/5 yogic kalari m. 5 months ago on Google
    I have reserved it for my friends from Germany. But I am little disappointed to hear it was more like a photo session for you guys rather than giving a standard service which let them enjoy their time and paddling. Of course they are okay with a couple of videos or so. But it sounds like they could never actually enjoy the time there because you guys were always around them photographing for your advertisement purpose. I thought you guys would be more professional!! And you guys did not provide the snacks to them as mentioned on your website!! I am writing this for your good, so you understand that it is important to feel how they feel while you provide service to your future customers. Thank you.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the paddle for Future with my Biker friends for a Tent stay experience with adventurous activities and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the pristine lake. The camp itself was well-organized and provided the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The property owner Mr. Kumaran gave us beautiful brief and the way instructors Veera, prabu were knowledgeable and patient, making it a fantastic learning experience for both beginners and experienced kayak, paddle . Exploring the calm waters of the lake, surrounded by the lush greenery and serene atmosphere, was a true delight, especially for the first timer like me who stayed in Tent. The resort's accommodations were comfortable and clean, with all the basic amenities I needed for a pleasant stay especially the Loo was kept neat and tidy all the time. The food served at the on-site restaurant was very Good. What truly sets this resort apart is the natural beauty that surrounds it. The lake, with its crystal-clear waters, is an ideal spot for kayaking and paddling simply unwinding. Whether you're paddling on the water, enjoying a sunset by the campfire, or taking a leisurely stroll along the lake's edge, the scenery is simply stunning. I left the mangrove bay camp feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with memories of a fantastic paddle and Kayak camp that I'll cherish for years to come. I highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure and a tranquil escape from the daily grind.

    Located in a serene spot with an amazing view of the river just as you step out of your tent, Mangrove bay offers an amazing experience of nature. The kayaking and stand-up paddling lessons provided there are good starting points for beginners. Bird watching is another engaging activity available.Β Food is sourced from the local villages or nearby town but is very tasty. The dormitory beds are neat and the restrooms are clean. Water and electricity are to be sparingly used at the camp. We have been there twice so far and have had memorable experiences.

  • 5/5 Payal R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my third trip to the beautiful Mangrove Bay Ecocamp. I love the rustic vibe in the heart of the mangroves. The hospitality is warm & heartfelt. The facilities are basic but clean & tidy. The sun & moon play their part beautifully in mesmerizing you, showcasing the best views of the landscape. The staff are well-trained to teach you to kayak & Stand Up Paddle. And once you get the hang of it, it feels liberating to be in the river, birds all around, & the wind in your hair. Safety precautions are taken seriously here, & their commitment to running this camp sustainably is admirable. Everything is solar-powered. The food is tasty & homely. Ask for idiyappam & coconut milk, it feels comforting after a tiring session in the water. Additionally, you could request for a barbeque- a great experience to have with friends amidst the gentle sounds of the river hitting the banks. Overall a great place to disconnect from bustling city life & connect with nature. I would highly recommend this place!

    Amazing evening kayak experience for our group of 9. The instructors speak manageable English if you don’t know Tamil. The last 2-3km stretch to reach the camp is a little risky to drive on, especially if you’re a new driver or during monsoons.

  • 5/5 Shruti S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a wonderful experience. A good place to experience the cool riverside breeze, the sunrise and sunset from perspectives that one might not have seen before, and to enjoy a night in a tent. I went there with my family when the full moon night came on a weekend, and it was amazing. It's a bonus if you bring a kite - the winds will take it way high than you can imagine, and so will your spirits soar along. It is definitely worth a visit if you love serenity with a liberal splashes of fun.

    Spent a memorable evening and night yesterday at Mangrove Bay Ecocamp. Had heard awesome reviews about the place before coming, and this place totally justifies all the wonderful words. Our 1st time kayaking - and the experience is beyond imagination. After quality time around a bonfire, spent the night in a tent gazing at a starry sky. Great photo opportunities of the sunset and sunrise as well as of birds. A big shout out to Prabhu for being a patient instructor and a wonderful company. Grateful to Veera and his family and the rest of the staff for being such gracious hosts. We will definitely visit again for kayaking and to try stand up paddling. Thanks Abhi for fixing up the booking. This is a great initiative to connect back with the nature. More power to all of you!

    If you are a person who loves to connect with nature and experience peace and tranquility, β€œMangrove Bay Eco camp” is a must visit! It’s a wonderful experience to go kayaking and try stand up paddling in the Kollidam river. The camp site is very neat and nature friendly. Mr.kumaran is an excellent trainer and takes prefect care with all safety precautions. He gives the best kayaking experience. The entire team at Mangrovebay are extremely dedicated and supportive. I have wonderful memories from the camp and would definitely love to visit again! Thanks to Mr.kumaran and the entire team! Great work… keep it up!

  • 5/5 Lalitha S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is so beautiful and peaceful. Very well maintained. Restrooms and rooms were neat and clean. The entire area was eco friendly and the sight of an unpolluted water body just filled my heart with so much happiness. Kayaking was awesomely adventurous. We were lucky enough to experience it in both high tide and low tide. The staff at the campsite were so helpful and jovial. At last, huge thanks to exoticamp for showing us this place and for responding to all our queries without a delay.
