Jahangir Enterprises
Good boat tour operators in Mongla include, Jahangir Enterprises. In recent years, the forestry department has banned any independent boats from Mongla (and other towns) from taking tourists on overnight trips into the Sundarbans. This rule was brought in after a couple of nasty incidents involving lost boats.
Nowadays, no matter what boatmen in Mongla may tell you, the only way to travel independently into the Sundarbans from Mongla is on a day trip to the Karamjal Forest Station.

Guide Tours
The Swatch of No Ground, a deep-water canyon a short way offshore of the Sundarbans, acts as something of a magnet to Brydes whales and bottlenosed dolphins. Between December and February, Guide Tours organises boat trips out to this canyon where schools of up to 750 dolphins have been seen, and whale sightings are virtually guaranteed. It’s a one-day excursion that is added onto the Sundarbans tour at a cost of US$50. You will travel on a scientific boat and in addition to watching whales, you get to watch the scientists at work.

Guide Tours
Guide Tours organises occasional tours to follow the maualis and hunt honey with them. It would be hard to think of a more fascinating, and gruelling, way of seeing the Sundarbans.
