Overview
Can Gio is a swampy island where the Saigon River meets the sea. This ecological Can Gio day tour takes you away from the bustle and hustle of Saigon for a unique natural environment.
Can Gio is about 60 kilometres southeast of the centre of Ho Chi Minh City and here you can visit the mangrove forest which possesses a high biodiversity level with more than 200 species of fauna and 52 species of flora.
The effects of the recent wars on these ecosystems have been devastating and large efforts have been made by local people to rehabilitate the mangroves. Today, it has become one of the most extensive sites of rehabilitated mangroves in the world.

It is great having local people who are able to tailor a trip to my individual needs. I love that I can chat to my consultant to make changes. The turnaround times from my brief were excellent.
Prompt and knowledgable of many areas and things to do. We felt like our requests were heard and they went above and beyond to provide a mixture of plans for our budget.
Sangita was amazing. She was always available by phone if needed and we felt no hesitation to be in contact. She listened to exactly what we asked for and got it right. All the people we met that worked with her were very trustworthy and honest. I would recommend her and all the people she works with. It was a very personal and well managed trip.
