- Bàu Sấu (Crocodile Lake) — A shallow seasonal lake with a raised boardwalk and an observation tower; the best easy walk in the park for close-up wetland views, birds and the park’s famous mugger crocodiles. Lots of variety packed into a short loop. (Personal favorite.)
- Dao Tien Endangered Primate Rescue Centre — A small rescue and rehabilitation area where you can see rescued langurs, gibbons and other primates in semi-wild enclosures and during guided release/feeding times. Great for learning about conservation and getting decent primate sightings without disturbing wild populations.
- Primary lowland evergreen forest — Old-growth tropical forest with towering dipterocarps, thick understory and loads of epiphytes and orchids. It’s the classic “deep jungle” experience here: quiet, dense

- Primary lowland evergreen forest — Old-growth tropical forest with towering dipterocarps, thick understory and loads of epiphytes and orchids. It’s the classic “deep jungle” experience here: quiet, dense canopy and a real sense of wildness that’s rare in Southeast Asia.
- Wetlands & birdwatching spots — Flooded grasslands, lakes and river edges attract a huge variety of waterbirds, kingfishers and sometimes hornbills. Early morning or late afternoon around the lakes is prime for binoculars and patient watching.
- Night walks and spotlighting — Guided night treks from the ranger station are where you’ll meet the park’s nocturnal cast: civets, slow lorises, frogs and owls. It’s low-tech, a little spooky, and usually the most reliably exciting wildlife action for budget travelers.
- Boat trips on the Đồng Nai river and seasonal channels — Short boat rides give a different perspective: flooded forest, river birds and quiet riverbanks you won’t reach on foot. Good for sunsets and cool relief from hiking in the heat.
- Hiking loops through mixed habitats — Trails range from short boardwalk loops to half-day treks that cross forest, grassland and marsh. Variety is the point: you can switch from birdwatching to jungle trees to wetland scenery in a few hours.
