The mangrove forests of Goa are a haven for rare plants, birds and wildlife. On this tour, you'll take a boat cruise downriver to spot freshwater crocs and hit a spice plantation to learn all there is to know about the exotic produce that thrives here. What's more, you'll have a traditional lunch included too.

Cast off from St.Estevam jetty and you'll glide down the Mandovi River by boat. Cruising through the mangrove forest, you'll see local fishermen at work, unusual birds and keep a keen eye out for the Mugger species of crocodile that call these waters home.

Back on land, you'll head to a nearby spice plantation where a warm Indian welcome awaits. Take a fascinating tour of the estate, sniff the intense scents of vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon and enjoy your fill of tasty local dishes.

I enjoyed the excursions, Jake the snake was very knowledgeable, did not expect to see a crocodile, but we did seen lots of different types of birds. The spice plantation was an interesting place, and very beautiful.

A Great experience, especially if you have an interest in birds. Pleasant cruise along the canal with Jake the Snake a very knowledgeable person. An ice cold beer and a somas completed the trip. The spice plantation was a real success add in a lovely lunch and it was nature at it it’s. Highly recommended

Our guide was very pleasant and informative. The bot trip was very good and Jake the Snake was very good at pointing out the wildlife with great enthusiasm. There was a problem with the ferry for our return to the coach which ment we had to wait around for some time but this didn’t detract from our experience. There was a meal at the spice plantation was very good with plenty available for everyone and the tour was very interesting.

Got picked up from hotel at 7.30. Didn’t set off on the boat until 10am. From description I expected different setting. It was a wide river with mangroves on the bank. Apparently there are 100s of crocodiles in the river but we seen one small one on the bank after about an hour. And then once we seen that we turned round and went back. Seen some birds too. And then went spice plantation which you already would have experienced if you did waterfall trip. Way too much coach travel

The coach was very poor a lot of seats were broken. If had been full a lot of people wouldn’t have had been able to go. Think a time limit should be given looking for Crocodiles we spent 3.5 hours looking for them without success, which is nature, but there should be a limit, we did see a lot of birds during that time and Fruit Bats.

You need a good camera or camcorder to take good pictures with a crocodile, but you don't need long pants and pointed-toe shoes, as the description says.
