Crocodile Swamp Wildlife Adventure and Return to Ho Chi Minh City

  • Wake up early and enjoy breakfast in the lively forest, surrounded by the sounds of birds singing and gibbon calls.
  • At 7:30 AM, embark on a thrilling jeep ride to Crocodile Swamp - home not only to Siamese crocodiles but also to many rare birds listed in the Red Book of protected animals in Vietnam and around the world. As you travel the 10 km from your lodge, keep your eyes open for charming peacock courtship dances, the melodious songs of colourful birds in the centuries-old trees, and innocent deer searching for food.
  • Immerse yourself in the majestic scenery of Crocodile Swamp. This is not only a sightseeing opportunity but also a chance to delve deeper into the ecosystem. Learn more about the freshwater Siamese crocodile and hear intriguing myths about this wetland, all while surrounded by wild lotus.
  • Afterward, return to your lodge for lunch and check out.
  • At 2:00 PM, transfer by car back to Saigon, with drop-off at about 6:00 PM.
