Tucked away in Edem Idim Village, Ukanafun Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, lies the breathtaking Blue River a natural wonder waiting to be explored.
From this serene river, a boat ride of just 15 to 20 minutes takes you straight to Port Harcourt, Rivers State. This unique waterway holds enormous potential to transform regional travel, reducing the usual 3-hour road journey to a smooth and scenic 20-minute river cruise.
One of the most fascinating sights here is the point where milky-white water gently meets the deep blue river. This natural convergence marks the boundary between Akwa Ibom State and Rivers State, making it not just beautiful, but historically and geographically significant.
It is traditionally believed that bathing in the Blue River can help with certain childhood illnesses such as measles. According to this belief, the bath must be done directly in the river, not by scooping the water to take home.
The Blue River of Edem Idim is not just a river, it’s an experience, a story, and an opportunity waiting to be unveiled.
