Tatai river has various floating bungalows and riverside resorts for accommodation options. There is a big focus on eco tourism in the area.

The river is a mix of fresh and brackish water, with a distinct warm layer of water floating on top of the cooler fresh water. This makes it very pleasant to swim.

Popular activities include kayaking the river, swimming, and taking a boat to see fireflies in the evening.

You can take a kayak by yourself to Little Tatai Waterfall or a boat up to the bigger Tatai Waterfall.
