Just a short ride from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, Can Gio Mangrove Forest offers a perfect escape into nature. Often called Monkey Island, this UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve is home to diverse wildlife, peaceful waterways, and remnants of wartime history.
Hop on a comfortable transfer and head south to explore a whole new world of lush mangroves, cheeky monkeys, and historic war sites. Walk through shaded forest trails, meet the island’s famous monkey residents, and take a scenic speedboat ride deep into the wetlands to visit the former Rung Sac Guerrilla Base.
Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch by the river or at a beachside restaurant before making your way back to the city. It’s the perfect combination of nature, wildlife, and history—all in a single unforgettable day.
