  2. Continue deeper into the heart of the biosphere reserve, where an entirely different side of Can Gio awaits. Visit the crocodile conservation area to observe these impressive reptiles from a safe viewing platform while learning about local wildlife protection efforts and the importance of preserving this fragile ecosystem. Then board a speedboat for an exciting ride through narrow waterways winding beneath towering mangrove trees. As the boat glides across quiet canals, admire the incredible biodiversity surrounding you, from migratory birds and aquatic wildlife to the intricate network of roots that protects Vietnam's southern coastline. This peaceful cruise offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Southeast Asia's largest mangrove forests from a completely different perspective while appreciating the natural beauty and ecological importance of this extraordinary environment.

    1 hAdmission included

  3. Beyond its natural beauty, Can Gio also preserves an important chapter of Vietnam's history. Arrive at the legendary Sac Guerrilla Camp, a hidden military base concealed deep within the mangrove forest during the Vietnam War. Walk among carefully reconstructed bunkers, living quarters, command posts, defensive structures, and underground shelters that once served local guerrilla forces operating in this challenging landscape. Through informative displays and your guide's engaging storytelling, gain insight into the remarkable resilience, ingenuity, and determination of those who lived and fought within these wetlands. Surrounded by peaceful forest today, it is difficult to imagine the strategic role this remote area once played, making this visit both educational and deeply meaningful for travelers interested in Vietnam's rich cultural and wartime heritage.

    1 hAdmission included

  4. Before returning to Ho Chi Minh City, relax at Can Gio Resort, where gentle ocean breezes, peaceful beaches, and a refreshing swimming pool offer the perfect opportunity to unwind after an active day.

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's buzzing commercial hub of French colonial landmarks, war history and superb street food.

District 1 holds the main sights within walking distance: the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral, the elegant Central Post Office with its vaulted hall, the colonial Opera House and the ornate City Hall. The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh City: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
