8 hours

Easy

A full-day eco adventure with monkeys, speed boat rides, and a locally sourced lunch in a UNESCO mangrove reserve
Escape the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City and journey into the heart of the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, a peaceful coastal region recognized by UNESCO for its ecological importance. This full-day eco adventure offers a perfect blend of nature, culture, and local cuisine.
Your experience begins with a scenic ferry ride to Can Gio, followed by a visit to Monkey Island, where you’ll encounter curious wild macaques roaming freely through the mangrove forest. A speed boat ride through the waterways offers a refreshing perspective of this lush wetland landscape, leading you to the historic Rừng Sác guerrilla base, a site rich in wartime history.
After exploring the area, you’ll stop by a local seafood market before sitting down for a regionally inspired lunch. The menu features freshly grilled crab and a  bird’s nest soup, both prepared with ingredients sourced locally from the surrounding community.
This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a deeper connection with Vietnam’s natural environment, while supporting responsible tourism and the preservation of coastal ecosystems.
