Full Moon Hike (National Bird Day edition!)Step into the nocturnal world of Intaka Island and celebrate a special Bird-Themed Night Hike — a family-friendly adventure under the stars!
As dusk settles over Intaka Island, our guides will lead you on a tranquil twilight walk through the winding trails and reedbeds, offering insights into the rich birdlife that finds refuge in the wetlands at day’s end. Learn how waterbirds and woodland species prepare to roost, how evening calls signal territory and connection, and how these birds play a vital role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Join us for this memorable evening experience and discover the subtle rhythms of Intaka’s birds as the wetlands transition from day to night.
