Monkey Island & Can Gio
My family and I had a fantastic time on this tour, and we were guided by Hawey! From pickup at our hotel to drop off, Hawey was very engaging and provided us with plenty of information about the tour and war. This experience was great, however we didn’t ride the speedboats due to the low tide but the walkthrough of the mangrove forest was incredible. Hawey also helped organise monkey feeding when some family members wanted to experience it, so thank you Hawey! We were also provided with a lunch that was very filling and delicious. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh! It was a nice little half day trip to get out of the hustle and bustle of the busy city.
Can Gio Excursion
It was a superb excursion, filled with the joy and good humor brought by our guide Chow. He explained all the historical parts about the war ruins very well; it was very interesting and engaging. A very big thank you to him; I loved this excursion!

Great day and nice guide. Reasonable price and well organised.
Great day on monkey island with guide KEN
Together with my daughter (16) we booked this trip to the monkey island. We had such a great day and time!!! The trip was well organized and the driver perfect, but our guide KEN made this trip special and an amazing experience for us. He told us everything about the vietnamese culture, the food, the mangroves, the wildlife, the daily life and the history. After being in the mangroves, we visited a local market where KEN picked out some fresh sea food and then we had an amazing and really tasty lunch. Having deliciuos oysters, snails, mussels etc. KEN really made our day and we would highly reccomend to ask for him as your tour guide. He as well gave us later on some good tipps for Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks Ken for that great day and all the best for you ☺️🤗👍!!!
