PRV11: Cần Giờ Eco-Tour(Full Day)

From $80/Pax

Overview

Located just some 50 km south from downtown Sài Gòn, the outlying district of Cần Giờ is an ecotourism destination for a one‐day weekend excursion out of the city and into the countryside, where mangroves, the beach, and monkeys await you. Vàm Sắt mangrove forest is a part of the ecosystem of Cần Giờ mangrove forest with an area of 1,862ha. It has an abundant and assorted system of animals and plants including typical species of a salt‐marsh zone. In the wars against French and U.S., Vàm Sắt was a famous waterway battlefield with many resounding victories. Just a few years after the war, the people have gathered here and restored the forest by growing trees to protect Cần Giờ’s natural ecological conditions.

Highlights

● Taking a canoe to visit the Mangrove Forest Ecosystem
● Visiting Cần Giờ Eco Forest Park & feeding friendly monkeys
● A short hike through the mangrove forest
● Visiting the local commando headquarters.
