Get ready for an unforgettable day filled with nature, adventure, and cultural discovery. Join us on a journey to Can Gio, a hidden gem just outside of Ho Chi Minh City.

When we arrive, you’ll see playful monkeys swinging in the trees. You can feed them and enjoy your time with them.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try "crocodile fishing," an exciting activity that lets you experience local culture.
Next, we’ll take a boat to the "Sac" guerrilla camp in the jungle. This historical place tells the story of Vietnam’s wartime and the challenges faced by soldiers and civilians.
After that, you’ll have a tasty lunch at a local restaurant with traditional Vietnamese food. Then, we’ll visit a busy fish market, where you can see fresh seafood like octopus, lobster, and dried fish.
