1 day
Full Day
About this activity
In the morning, your tour guides will pick you up at a meeting point and head to Can Gio, otherwise known as “Monkey Island.” On arrival, visit Mangrove Forest to see over 1,000 monkeys living there. You can also feed and take photos with the many monkeys surrounding and climbing on your shoulders.
Continue with a short walk to an alligator farm, where local people have conserved many huge alligators since the Vietnam War and you can try alligator fishing (optional). Then, take a speed boat to “Sac” guerilla camp built in the deep jungle. Today, the camp has become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and a feel of what jungle life in the war must have been like.
You will then stop at a local seafood market with various kinds of fresh seafood regarding squids, lobsters, rays, etc. and dried seafood. There, enjoy a welcome drink (sugar cane juice) before having a delicious Vietnamese lunch on a beach in a resort, where you will be at leisure swimming and sightseeing. In the afternoon, before heading back to Saigon, stop at mango gardens to buy some fresh mangoes and end the tour.
