Can Gio is one of the most important wet land of Vietnam, listed in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO and is home of more than 200 species of fauna and 52 species of flora. We especially customize this experience for your desire of a truly eco tour.

Departing from Saigon and heading straight to our private dock in Can Gio – Vam Sat. Take a canoe trip along the river and leave for the bat area. Continuing the journey with a small boat trip to discover natural landscapes of the mangrove forest before boarding a smaller wooden boat to reach the bat lagoon where a colony of large flying fox bats sleeping the day away.

Then we will back to the main boat and head straight to the heart of the forest for a mild trekking and visit a bird sanctuary during nesting season (*) to observe thousands of birds including storks, herons and cranes flying around.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before having a short walk to a natural crocodile lake where you could occasionally see wild monkeys jumping out from the forest. Heading back to Saigon to end up your adventure
