Totally recommend to visit the mangrove forest, and take a walk in the monkey island. My tour guide was Khoa, who did an amazing job in organising the trip efficiently.
So wonderful tour today. We will come island by boat after that come to monkey island so funny and lunch so yummy. Khoa so friendly help us a lot and share more information .
Pleasant guide with great English. Seen lots of monkeys and they did not steal anything from us :) Great seafood at the lunch and great Jasmine tea.
This was now the fifth tour I booked with this company and this one was just as perfectly organized as everyone else. My special thanks go to Kieran and Ryan for making this day beautiful. The long drive seemed extraordinarily entertaining to me, as both provided me with a lot of information about the respective destinations. It was a very nice tour by ferry and boat to the respective destinations. When visiting Monkey Island, please be sure to follow the recommendations of the guides and leave all items in the car. I've seen three people have their glasses stolen from their heads by the monkeys in an unobserved moment. So: Have fun on this tour. It's a great experience.
Wonderful full day tour to Thanh an island and can gio mangrove forest. Thanh an island is a small island. It is really local, very less people there. I saw some kids swimming and they have to take small boat to go to school. We also visited local seafood market. There are a lot of fresh seafood there. Finally, we visit can gio mangrove, walk through forest instead of machine boat because i have experience a lot by boat. Our guide Steve told us a lot of vietnam war. He is really nice, knowledgeable, caring us. The drivers are fun and helpful. We do this tour by motorbike. Highly recommended.
