Saigon Outskirt Motorbike Excursion to Can Gio Mangrove Forest

In the morning, your guide will pick you up at your hotel or residence. We will head south of Ho Chi Minh City to Hiep Phuoc port and leave the bustling city behind. Along the way, you can experience seeing the local people at work, ride through the shrimp farms, past swift houses and enjoy the most scenic roads of the area to reach for the Rung Sac (Mangrove forest) well-known as Viet Cong base during the war.

Travelers then take a boat ride along canals naturally covered with mangrove into the Dam Doi (Bat Swamp). We will get on the rowboat to get closer to the Eco Reserve area. Have you ever tried to fish for crab with a fishing rod? Yes, you can try your luck right here. You will reach the core of the Biosphere Reserve of Vam Sat forest where we will visit the crocodile farm and bird reserve.

After your delicious seafood lunch and a short rest, we will learn how to pass the Cau Khi (Monkey bridge made of 1 or 2 single bamboos poles) as locals do. You cannot miss the panoramic view from the Tang Bong tower. It’s a great opportunity for photos.

In the afternoon, a speed boat takes us back to Rung Sac, we then hop back on the motorbikes to Can Gio beach to visit the stunning local seafood market. You can go swimming, weather and time permitting

The ride back to Ho Chi Minh city via Binh Khanh local ferry gives an interesting experience on how to use the local transportation. The trip will end at your hotel around 5pm.
