    Such a relaxing and tranquil place overlooking the Congo River. Perfect chill-out music 🎶 We arrived there by kayak.

  • Andrey S.Google review · 5 Sep 2025

    Tropical Tide is an absolutely stunning and relaxing place, perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature. You can get there either by motorbike or, for a more authentic experience, by taking a traditional wooden boat along the Kongo River. The owner, Antonio, is a young and brilliant guy who has created a truly unique atmosphere. If you choose to go by boat, it takes about 25 minutes from the Estuary to reach Tropical Tide, and the journey itself is part of the adventure, surrounded by beautiful scenery and fresh river breeze. Whether you arrive by land or water, you’ll be welcomed by a peaceful vibe and a breathtaking setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience something truly special – don’t miss the chance to visit this amazing restaurant!
