Mangrove waterways, monkeys and birdlife on the city's wild edge.

What to expect.
Escape the city for a full day in the Can Gio biosphere reserve, a vast mangrove wilderness on Ho Chi Minh City's southern edge. Glide by canoe into the Vam Sat eco-zone and its bird reserve, spot crocodiles and bats, climb Tang Bong Tower for views across the forest, and meet the resident monkeys on Monkey Island. You will also visit the hidden Rung Sac guerrilla base, tucked deep in the mangroves.

Good to know before you go.
A full day in the Can Gio biosphere on the city's coast: a boat through the Vam Sat mangroves, a crocodile-fishing area, Monkey Island and the Rung Sac guerrilla base, with lunch included.
Around two hours south of central Ho Chi Minh City, including a short ferry, so it makes a full day of roughly eight hours.
Long-tailed macaques on Monkey Island, crocodiles in the reserve, and plenty of bats and birdlife in the mangrove channels.
Yes, though keep an eye on belongings around the monkeys, which are bold. The boat rides and wildlife make it a good day out for children.
Can Gio is about nature and mangroves rather than war history or delta villages. For those, see the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tours.
It is a good change of pace from the city. See things to do in Ho Chi Minh City and we will fold it into your private itinerary.
