The route to Bàu Sấu Wetland in Cát Tiên National Park has two sections: You can cover 9 km along the way by car or bicycle, followed by a 5 km walk on a forest trail. There is no alternative way to travel this section. Bàu Sấu is 14 km from the park’s visitor center. Check current trail conditions and transport options before setting out.

Cát Tiên: Wetlands and Nighttime Wildlife Watching

The national park and the wetland have different designations: UNESCO recognized Cát Tiên as a biosphere reserve in 2001; Bàu Sấu was recognized as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in 2005. This brings two natural areas, each with its own designation, into focus.

A nighttime wildlife-watching tour adds to a visit to the park. It takes place in a park vehicle, accompanied by someone who shines a light on the animals. The tour must be booked in advance, and tickets are limited. Check the current arrangements and availability in good time.
