Great day trip to Nature from the city

We had a wonderful day excursion to Vam Sat Mangrove forest. Bin was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. We saw monkeys, fed the crocodiles and went to see bats hanging in the tree canopy. We also had a lovely lunch at the forest. I would definitely recommend this excursion to see something outside the city and if you have Bin as your guide you won’t go wrong.
Surprisingly worthwhile adventure.

Not a typical tourist choice, this was a worthwhile excursion. Beautiful and interesting. The ride to the island was an unexpected addition to the adventure. It included a car ferry and a speed boat ride. Much history. Our guide, Kevin, was outstanding.
Great day

We spent a great day in nature with our guide Max, who showed us the spectacular mangroove forest and told us a lot about Vietnam. We also saw monkeys, fed crorodiles, took a ride with motorboat and rowing boat, enjoyed beautiful views, nature and wildlife and had a great lunch - it was really tasty! If you want to rest a while and escape from Ho Chi Minh crowd and noise, this trip is a great opportunity!
First class tour

Excellent tour combining a boat trip, canoe into the forest and visits to see the monkey family and to see and feed the crocodiles. First class day out and everyone was delighted with it. I’d specifically call out Bin our guide who was excellent - fluent and excellent guide. First class tour and would highly recommend.
