Herping Across Ma Da's Habitats

• Meet your tour guide and begin the herping tour in Ma Da Nature Reserve.
• Travel between different habitats and hotspots. The terrain we search is not too physically demanding, and we use a car to move around throughout the park.
• Visit different habitats and our favourite hotspots, where we will search for herps on foot. Usually, there are no long hikes. It tends to be more successful to intensively search several spots rather than hike long distances on a single long trail.

Know before you go

• Herping is the act of searching for amphibians or reptiles. This herping tour is an initiative that strives to preserve biodiversity through tourism, photography, and education, replacing fear with fascination for amphibians and reptiles.
• Note: (9:00 to ± midnight) Our herping tours in Ma Da Nature Reserve are available as day trips or multiple-day tours. We do not have a standard day itinerary because the itinerary depends on various factors. First of all, it depends on how many days you book and whether there are any specific species that you would like to see. We will adapt the trip to increase our chances. Our herping guide will try their best to get the most out of your trip based on your preferences. Based on what we have already seen, local conditions, or simply a gut feeling, we decide hour by hour what to do next.
