Overview 

The Crocodile Safari begins at Cortalim jetty or Old Goa jetty. Once onboard, cruise up Zuari River or Mandovi River and later turn into the Cumbarjua canal which connects both these rivers. Protecting the area and stabilising the shoreline are mangrove forests that have become a natural surrounding for a variety of endemic and migratory birds. The backwaters and narrow intertidal mudflats are a beautiful biodiverse habitat that have become home to the Indian Mugger belonging to the genus Crocodylus. This unique species has adapted to both freshwater and brackish water habitats. This broad snouted marsh crocodile weighs around 450kgs and can reach upto 4.5meters in length. Embark on a backwater cruise passing through mangroves and a variety of birdlife while catching a sight of crocodiles in their natural habitat.
