This traditional canoe ride is an ideal way to discover the Petite-Côte from a different perspective. Departing from Saly, a lively seaside resort, the trip takes place in a peaceful atmosphere aboard a traditional motorized or paddled canoe. The ride lasts around two hours, alternating between open sea and sheltered areas. Stops are planned to observe birds or interact with local fishermen along the way. The route follows the coastline toward Ngaparou or heads up to the La Somone Lagoon, depending on the tide. The local guide shares insights about coastal life, fishing techniques, and the many bird species often seen along the water. It’s both a cultural and nature-filled experience, perfect for families or couples looking to enjoy a calm and authentic outing. A small snack is served on board before returning to Saly.

After the trip, visitors can explore the Mbour fishing port, browse the Saly craft market, or visit the nearby Bandia Reserve to round off the day.
