Sundarban Family Tour Package
Safe, Comfortable & Educational Sundarban Tour for Families from Kolkata
The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove delta ecosystem in the world, formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. A Sundarban Family Tour Package is carefully designed for families who want a safe, structured, and enriching experience inside this unique tidal landscape.
Unlike fast-paced sightseeing trips, a family tour to Sundarbans from Kolkata focuses on comfort, gradual exploration, wildlife awareness, and cultural interaction. Parents, children, and grandparents can travel together without logistical stress.
Why Choose a Sundarban Family Tour?
Traveling with children and elderly family members requires thoughtful planning. A professionally arranged Sundarban family trip ensures:
Door-to-door transfer from Kolkata (optional private vehicle)
Safe boat safari with life jackets for all members
Riverside accommodation with attached bathrooms
Balanced meal plans suitable for children
Forest-permit aligned itinerary planning
For families wanting greater privacy and flexible timing, consider a Sundarban Private Family Tour
.
Family-Friendly Activities in Sundarbans
1. Sundarban Boat Safari for Family
Boat cruising is the core experience. The safari moves through wide rivers and narrow creeks lined with mangroves. Children can observe estuarine crocodiles, spotted deer, kingfishers, and mudskippers in their natural habitat.
2. Watchtower Visits
Popular watchtowers like Sajnekhali and Dobanki offer structured wildlife viewing areas. These platforms are safe and ideal for families with children learning about ecosystems and conservation.
3. Village & Cultural Learning
A Sundarban tour with kids becomes meaningful when families interact with local communities. Children learn about honey collectors, river fishermen, and the cultural significance of Banbibi in delta folklore.
4. Nature Education & Biodiversity Awareness
The Sundarbans function as a living classroom. Families witness mangrove adaptation, tidal movement, and delta formation processes. This transforms a simple holiday into a geography and biology lesson in real time.
Comfort & Safety Measures
Safety is central to every Sundarban Family Tour Package . Boats operate under forest department regulations. Licensed guides coordinate entry permits and watchtower access.
Life jackets available for every passenger
Limited boat capacity for comfort
Pre-planned meal timing for children
Accommodation near safe river zones
Families seeking higher comfort levels may explore the Sundarban Luxury Family Tour Package which includes premium rooms and private boats.
Cost Advantage for Families
A bundled Sundarban package from Kolkata reduces separate booking expenses. Family plans often include:
Child discount slabs
Reduced pricing for infants
Group pricing for extended families

Today I returned from the trip and I am excited to pen down some memorable moments and places where improvement is required. 1) Pick Up bus - We took the... read more bus that was allotted to us for taking us to the boat and we boarded it from Science City. It was a traveller and its was quite spacious and we travelled witout any problem. One thing that need to be looked upon is that there should be a helper with the driver in orderto contact the tourist for boarding the bus. The driver was speaking in his mobile while which can lead to a few problems. 2) Launch/Boat - It was quite big, spacious, the bathrooms were clean and the crews on board are very welll behaved. My 3 year old son really enjoyed the boat ride throughout the journey. 3) Resort - Some maintenance work is required in the rooms of the resort where we stayed at night. Things like ceiling fan regulator was not working, the flush in the wash room was not working and the room are not properly cleaned. It seemed to me that the room where I stayed was cleaned a long time back. 4) Food - The foods that were served to us was very well cooked. They were not at all spicy, not at all stale. Every time we were served hot and fresh foods. They also arranged food for my 3 year old son as per his requirement. 5) Employees/Crews - They are very well behaved, helpfull and always serving us by giving their level best.

We planned to visit Sunderban for 2 night / 3 days package from Durgapur. Found the name of Sonakshi Travel (Sonarpur ,south 24 pargana) from internet.Finalised programme through phone call... read more with Mr.Suvabrata Talukder.We were 13 heads (including 3 senior citizen and 2 child of 5 years old).It was a programme from Howrah to Howrah (railway station). Yesterday (13th November 2021) we returned from our trip. Overall experience was awesome.Communication with Mr. Talukder over phone before journey came in reality through the entire tour in every respect.

Food quality was really good .Not to much spicy but tasty , quantity was sufficient.The resort we stayed (Sabujdieep) was good /clean/safe and a small walking from jetty where we dropped from boat.One evening we enjoyed tribal music and dance in the resort.

I had travelled along with my 2 kids and my parents to Sundarban on 13th of nov. The tour was organised by Sundarban Travel. We had opted for 1N 2D... read more package. Here are few points I would like to mention regarding the tour. PROS: 1) The tour organiser, Mr Talukdar gave us a very clear account of the package and there were no hidden cost. 2) We were appointed a manager ( Mr Subrata) during the tour, who was very polite in his dealings. Since I was travelling with my 4 yr old daughter, I had requested him to make few extra arrangements ( in meal) for her ….for which I never had to remind him again and all my requirements were taken care off. 3 ) since we were only 3 families travelling on one boat, we had enough space to ourselves as compared to other boats I saw during the trip were overly crowded. 4) Food was good and the preparation was quite homely. 5)As we had to spend considerable amount of time on the boat…. I was little apprehensive about the cleanliness of the washroom on the boat. But to my surprise, the washroom was sparkling clean. CONS: 1) Though the hotel we were made to stay was very well located… but the rooms were very basic. Rooms are newly made but not very well maintained. The floor of the rooms felt like they were not dusted and mopped in days.There were cobwebs here and there and bathroom had few centipedes. To my opinion..rooms could have been better than what was provided. Overall, it was a well organised trip and Mr Talukdar kept checking on us during the trip which I truly appreciate. We thoroughly enjoyed. And I would certainly recommend Sundarban Travel to my friends and family.
