Start your day with a hotel pick-up in Ho Chi Minh City and head to Can Gio, also known as Monkey Island. Once you arrive, visit the mangrove forest where over 1,000 monkeys live. Have the opportunity to feed and take photos with many monkeys that surround you and even climb on your shoulders.

After that, take a short walk to the crocodile area where local people conserve many huge crocodiles from the "American war". There you can also try "crocodile fishing" (optional).
