A Wild and Wonderful Experience Off the Beaten Path - If you're looking for something different from the usual city tours, this Can Gio adventure is the perfect change of pace. The moment we entered the mangrove forest, it felt like stepping into another world — quiet, green, and full of life. It was a great reminder of how diverse Vietnam’s natural beauty is.
The walk through the reserve was easy and enjoyable, and the boat ride gave us amazing views of the landscape. Monkey Island was chaotic in the best way — the monkeys are mischievous, so hang on to your things! The crocodile farm added a bit of adrenaline to the day, especially when we saw them up close.
But what made this trip truly memorable was Mr. Khoa. He has this rare ability to balance professionalism with a warm, personal touch. He made everyone feel welcome, explained things clearly, and kept the whole group engaged. His respect for nature and local culture really came through in the way he guided us.
Highly recommended!

What to do only if you have time - Very, very long day, it took us nearly 2h30 to get home and 1h30 to go. Be prepared.
Nice guide but rather miserly in explanations, he did not explain anything about Vietnam, its history, its culture. He asked us if we had any questions but nobody asked.
A nice but completely lost driver, he was mistaken several times, lengthening an already endless journey. We took the ferry with the van (long wait to board), then visit the mangrove. We haven't seen many monkeys. No interaction with them, no feeding planned my son was a little disappointed. Don't take the speedboat back, it's too expensive for the tiny distance! After the mangrove visit a local fish market. Interesting! Then a decent lunch, on the edge of an unclean beach. Then visit a small temple at the bottom of an alley that looks like nothing. In short if you only have a few days, don't spend it here!
