Full description

8:00 AM: Your adventure begins as our guide picks you up from District 1, or you can meet us directly at the SST Travel office. We’ll start the day with a scenic drive, then take the Bình Khánh ferry across to Can Gio Town.

Once we arrive in Can Gio, prepare yourself for a day packed with exciting and memorable experiences:

Monkey Island: Step onto this charming island, home to over 1,000 mischievous monkeys in their natural habitat. It’s the perfect place to interact with these playful creatures and snap some unforgettable photos.

Hoa Ca Crocodile Reserve: Next, we head to the Hoa Ca Crocodile Reserve, where you’ll have the rare chance to observe these magnificent reptiles up close. For wildlife enthusiasts, this stop is an absolute must.

Rung Sac Revolutionary Base: Immerse yourself in history with a 25-minute trek through the cool shade of the mangrove forest, leading to the Rung Sac Revolutionary Base. This site holds significant historical value, as it was a strategic location for the brave soldiers of the 10th Special Forces during the war. Explore the bunkers, kitchens, and medical huts, and learn about their heroic efforts. Alternatively, you can choose to take a 10-minute canoe ride to the base ( Please note the canoe fee is not included in the tour).

01:00 - 01:30 PM: After your explorations, we’ll stop for a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll taste the rich and diverse flavors of Southern Vietnamese cuisine.

In the afternoon, the journey continues with more local experiences:

Seafood Market: Next, we’ll visit the vibrant seafood market, where you can sample freshly caught seafood directly from the local waters. It’s also the perfect opportunity to pick up some delicious seafood to take home, bringing a piece of Can Gio with you.
After our visit to the market, we’ll board the bus and head back to Saigon.

4:30 - 5:00 PM: We’ll arrive back in the heart of the city, marking the end of a wonderful and action-packed day.

Please note that the itinerary may be subject to change depending on traffic, weather conditions, or water levels on the day of your tour. However, rest assured that all activities listed will be fully included for a memorable experience.
