There is a large number of free parking spaces to the north, so you can comfortably walk across the bridge and watch the crocodiles in their habitat.
You should beware of the street vendors & decline them with thanks.

A bridge across a river with crocodiles. The bridge is high enough to feel safe but you get to get pretty close. Those beasts are massive - probably 5m long some of them. I visited twice - once late in the afternoon (around 5) and once in the morning (around 6:30) and morning seems better because more of them were on land so they were easier to observe. Also, in the morning I was the only person on the bridge, in the afternoon there were loads of people, which is a bit dangerous with very narrow side walk and traffic.

Hiking

Be careful with your camera and your cell phone! If something falls down, it is irretrievably gone. We strongly advise against going down… the name says it all
