Great day

Published on Jan, 2025

Tour guide Bin was great…good English and great knowledge. Feeding the crocodiles and watching the monkeys play were highlights.

Excellent tour, experience natural beauty and avoid the tourist traps

Published on Dec, 2024

Highly recommended. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We did the cu chi tunnels/mekong delta tour the day before, but the mangrove forest tour surpassed it in every way. The forests are a pocket of tranquility, they feel far away from the chaos and noise of Ho Chi Minh. In fact, this area still seems relatively unappreciated by tourists. Throughout the roughly 4-hour trip, we only saw one or two other small groups. For the most part, the islands we visited and the river we travelled on between them were the preserve of a few boatmen and oyster fishermen. Aside from the general beauty of the local environment, getting up close with the wildlife was the other highlight of the trip. Little monkey fellas are always incredible and feeding the crocodiles was great fun too. We were only just able to make out the flying foxes in the forest canopy, but it didn't bother me too much as we floated through the mangroves on our canoe. Our tour guide Bin was fantastic, very friendly and patiently answered all of the many questions that I had. I also really appreciated that we weren't pushed to buy anything the whole time, a pleasant absence of gift shops. Overall, a wonderful experience. I just wish that we had had more time to spend with the monkeys and wander around the island. (I wanted to see the wild boar!)

Great trip!

We spent a great day in nature with our guide Max, who showed us the spectacular mangroove forest and told us a lot about Vietnam. We also saw monkeys, fed crorodiles, took a ride with motorboat and rowing boat, enjoyed beautiful views, nature and wildlife and had a great lunch - it was really tasty! If you want to rest a while and escape from Ho Chi Minh crowd and noise, this trip is a great opportunity!

Conservation in action near to Ho Chi Minh City

Published on Dec, 2024

Our knowledgeable guide, Kevin, informed us about the districts and industry of Ho Chi Minh City on the trip to Van Sat. Once there, we saw long tailed monkeys, a wild boar, mudskippers, crabs, tumeric bats and viewed the biosphere from an elevated platform above the trees. We learnt about the incredible restoration work to bring this natural wonder back. The food was excellent, vegetarians were catered for. The tour was just our family (older teenagers) and Kevin and our driver made the day a special one.
