On arrival, we visit the mangrove forest to see over 1,000 monkeys living there, you can feed and take photos with many monkeys surrounding and climbing on your shoulders. Continuing with a short walk to the crocodile area where local people conserve many huge crocodiles from the “American war”. You can try to do “crocodile fishing” there (optional). Then taking the speed boat to “Sac” guerilla camp – was built in deep jungle. Nowadays, the camp has become a major tourist attraction. It is not only a unique experience but also it helps the visitors understand more about the jungle life during the war.

I had such a great time on this adventure, I really recommend going with this company, they did such a great job, and I really enjoyed the tour. We learn so much and was able to interact and play with the cute monkeys and alligators.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re very happy to hear you had such a great time and enjoyed the adventure with us. It’s wonderful to know you learned a lot and had fun interacting with the monkeys and alligators. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to see you again on another tour.
We did get to see lots of monkeys but the whole thing felt like you were in a zoo. You walked down one Long trail and the monkeys came out when the security guards/caretakers threw peanuts at them. Basically comes off as a tourist trap. If the monkeys grab your personal belongings and they did from some of the people on the tour you then have to pay the security guards for them to retrieve your items. Basically, they throw ice cream cones at the monkeys and then the monkeys drop what they stole and then the tourists get their item back but they have to pay. Sounds like a scam. It was a blazing hot humid day which I believe everyday is and it was disappointing that the restaurant that we were taken to was outdoors with absolutely no air conditioning so we had no relief from the heat all day. Then after lunch they gave us an extra hour to basically do nothing because the restaurant was in an isolated area and everyone just had to hang around. You also have to travel on a dirty Auto ferry with no restroom with the locals. Worse yet on a round trip basis. On both trips on the ferry our bus didn't make it on the ferry so we had to wait on the other side until the bus got over. Wouldn't recommend it.
