Itinerary

Overview

Just 50 km east of Ho Chi Minh City, Can Gio is the perfect escape into nature. With vast mangrove forests, playful monkeys, and peaceful waterways, this biosphere reserve is home to rich wildlife and lush greenery. Once a strategic battlefield, it has been reborn through reforestation as a green haven and one of Viet Nam’s top eco-tourism destinations.

  • Visit Can Gio Eco Park and meet the playful monkeys

  • Enjoy a short hike through the lush mangroves

  • Explore the former commando headquarters used during the war

  • Climb the Tang Bong Tower for panoramic views of the green forest

  • Take another jungle walk to fully immerse yourself in this unique ecosystem.

  • Climb up the Tang Bong Tower for sweeping views over the green expanse of the forest.

  • Lunch will be served at a local restaurant with a traditional Vietnamese 5-course menu. Vegetarian and allergy-friendly options are available on request.
