Looking for an exciting and unique way to explore Goa’s natural beauty? Join us for the Crocodile Watching & Bird Watching Boat Tour, where you’ll experience the thrill of seeing crocodiles in their natural habitat, all while enjoying scenic views of the lush backwaters and observing exotic birdlife.

Crocodile Watching Adventure

The Crocodile Trip in Goa takes you on an adventurous two-hour catamaran boat ride through the serene mangroves of the Cumbarjua Canal, one of Goa’s most famous crocodile hotspots. As you glide along the water, you’ll have the chance to see the mighty Indian Mugger crocodiles lounging on the riverbanks or even jumping into the water. These fascinating reptiles, some basking in the sun and others watching curiously from the banks, provide an unforgettable sight for all nature enthusiasts.

The best time for crocodile spotting is between November and March, when the water levels are low, and the crocodiles are more easily visible.

The tour also includes a bird watching excursion, where you’ll have the opportunity to spot a variety of rare, migratory, and exotic birds. The boat ride takes you near the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, a prime location for bird watchers. Here, you can witness birds in their natural habitat as they flit through the trees, offering stunning views for photography. The sanctuary is home to a wide variety of birds, making it a must-visit for bird lovers, particularly between November and February, when migratory birds flock to the region.
