Highlights
Kickstart your day with an exhilarating motorbike or scooter ride out of the city and into the wild heart of southern Vietnam. At 7:30 AM, your friendly local guide will pick you up from your hotel, and together you'll cruise through the bustling streets of Saigon, making your way toward the coastal province of Can Gio—a journey that includes a charming ferry ride across the river, setting the tone for the off-the-beaten-path adventure ahead.
Once in Can Gio, you'll explore its vast mangrove forests, home to an incredible variety of wildlife including birds, crocodiles, and famously mischievous monkeys. At Monkey Island, get up close to hundreds of free-roaming monkeys and learn how this now-tranquil land once served as a guerrilla hideout during the Vietnam War. After your animal encounters, fuel up with a delicious local lunch and browse the vibrant Can Gio seafood market, a daily hub where locals trade freshly caught treasures from the sea.
The tour ends with a breezy visit to Can Gio Beach, where you can take in the sea air before hopping back on your motorbike or scooter for the return ride to Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a thrilling and enriching day out that blends nature, history, and authentic local life—all with the wind in your hair.
