Visit length: 4h experience: 4 people, great group small and perfect to hear all the explanations
An in-depth and wonderful guided tour, we were picked up at the meeting point right on time by our guide Vy who immersed us in the culture of her country not only limiting herself to the places seen but also telling us about the customs, traditions and language😊 the boat trip was very relaxing (thanks also to our legendary captain Tam) and with the forest and the rice fields it is all not to be missed. I highly recommend it!
Nice tour. Kind and super helpful driver. Recommended
Such a nice tour!!! We visited the Mangroves via boat. Watched birds and got lots of explanations about the vietnamese life in Mekong Delta. Vi is a lovely and friendly tourguide. I can recommend to book a tour with her!! We also visited the hidden forest. I had a really good time and learned a lot about the culture.
Our Tour Guide Vy was very friendly and Patient. She teacher us a lot about the history, Culture and meaning of the Place. It was a really nice trip, we can highly recommend it! Thank you very much Vy it was nice to meet you! (Everything was perfectly organized)

Nice and relax tour with Vy:) super friendly and good knowledge about the area:)
Great tour, Vy is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the natural world, local history, food, and culture. I came here for the nature and got exactly what I was looking for. Worth the $ and trip to Can Tho.
The experience has been nothing short of amazing!! We had a very wonderful time. The driver who brought us there was very helpful. The boatman who took us around the reserve understood that we like to take photos and stopped and brought us around to take beautiful photos of storks. He also explained to us the different wildlife that we saw, such as snail eggs, beehives, storks, etc. overall, I would recommend this trip and I would love to come back here again with my family and friends.
Our group had an amazing time touring the nature reserve. Our boat driver did an amazing job as well, taking the time to point out different plants, animals, and fruits of interest along the way. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and was away from major crowds, making the nature around you feel all the more impactful. I’d highly recommend this tour, it was a definite highlight of our trip!
