In the afternoon, trek into the tropical jungle to learn about the variety of plants and animal life. Gaze at the Giant Tung Tree and put yourself in harmony with wildlife. Choose to trek further to see more sites, such as Lagerstroemia ovalifolia (BangLang), Tetrameles nudiflora (Tung), and Cycas rumphii (Thien Tue).

After a 20-minute drive, trek 5 km to the ferry terminal. If you are lucky, admire the charming peacock courtship dances, melodious sounds from colorful birds on the hundred-year-old trees, or the sight of innocent deer seeking food.
