Private Eco-Tour: Crocodile Watching With Heritage Trail

After pickup from your hotel, travel by air-conditioned coach to the Cumbarjua Canal. Your guide and lifeguard travel with you on the ferry for a crocodile-spotting cruise. Learn why this is the only place in Goa where crocodiles coexist peacefully with the local fishing community. Fresh fruit and drinks are served on board as you search the estuary. Afterward, return to your private vehicle for a quick ride to the city of Ponda, where you visit the Sahakari Spice Plantation. Learn about Goa’s farming traditions on a tour as your guide explains how locally cultivated spices are used for traditional cuisine and medicinal purposes. You also see cashew or coconut feni being fermented and get insight into how locals farm betel leaves by scaling the trunks. Then try some of the spices yourself with a traditional Goan buffet. Enjoy savory chicken xacuti, prawn curry, and vegetarian dishes at the plantation. After a full day of sightseeing, your trip concludes with drop-off back at your hotel.
