Can Gio Eco Tour Reveals Vietnam’s Mangrove Wilderness and Wartime Legacy


A full-day ecological and historical excursion to Can Gio is offering travelers an in-depth look at one of southern Vietnam’s most important biosphere reserves. The journey begins with a scenic drive to Dan Xay Bridge, followed by a boat ride into the Vam Sat Eco-Tourist Zone, where restored mangrove ecosystems stretch across vast wetlands.


As visitors travel through winding waterways, they are introduced to the region’s rich biodiversity, particularly vibrant during the bird migration season from May to October. Key highlights include visits to a crocodile swamp, a bat lagoon, and the ascent of Tang Bong Tower, which provides sweeping panoramic views over the dense green canopy of the mangrove forest.


The experience continues with a stop at Forest Park, also known as Monkey Island, where troops of monkeys inhabit the natural surroundings. Guests also explore the Can Gio Museum and the Mangrove Forest Park Faunal Conservation Area, home to saltwater crocodiles, migratory birds, and other native wildlife that define the ecological significance of the region.


Concluding the journey, visitors head to the Rung Sac Guerrilla Base, a historically significant site that reflects Can Gio’s strategic role during the Vietnam War. This final stop adds a powerful historical dimension to a tour that seamlessly blends environmental conservation, wildlife exploration, and wartime heritage in southern Vietnam’s unique mangrove landscape.

I don't recommend going there because there is nothing to see. The service is expensive but there is nothing to experience. The food is too simple, the restaurant is not attentive, the space is not clean, messy... The road from the gate to the restaurant is very bad, difficult to move, the staff is not professional in service and there is no parking for cars and motorbikes.

Around 1 hour from Quoc Chanh Ferry Terminal by car, you can get to Vam Sat ecopark. Individual cars are not allowed to bypass the concrete bridge, but parked outside with a little amount - 30k VND each. There are a variety of ticket vouchers at the ticket booster that may suit your purposes or you can choose combo types for the sakes of your budget. If you go with a group of friends, it may help you save costs with the most suitable combo. On the opposite side of the booster is a small cottage café with a variety of beverage i.e. soft drink, iced coffee, coconut milk, … Walking through the arched-concrete bridge, you gonna get picked up by the auto-mobile vehicle (I dont know how to call cuz its appearance looks like electric cars for tourists at tourist cities, but it operated by fuel). The path to the tourist point is unpaved with potholes, muddy and kind of hardly to go. It takes around 15 mins to get there. You can reach to the highest point of “Tang Bong” tower to get bird-eyes view of surrounding: All green, Amazing. We got threaten by monkeys which are very naughty and ready to attack you or to take something from you. Be carefull with sun glasses, cell phones or bags, they take it and climb to the tree at no time that you hardly get it back. We went with “Combo 5” including pick-up car, travel by propelled boat and 10-person canoe paddled by a lovely and dedicated man through forest to observe bats. It should be better if you bring along Umbrella, anti-insect oil, some bottles of fresh water or mineral ones, foods once you go with chidren or beer to drink with your friends during the time waiting for boats or canoes. It takes max. 2 hours for the tour, the it is highly recommended if you order dishes at the restaurant before you get the site trip. Several dishes that you gonna enjoy such as grilled duck, grilled fish (called ‘“thòi lòi”), hotpot,…especially, the bbq duck will be ready in 2.5 hours (that the reason why you need order in advance). Btw, the restaurant is kind of clean, tidy and spacious. Price is reasonable, around M2.2 VND for 10 persons. Lets begin with table that equiped with wall fans. In short, acceptable but not entirely satisfied . It worths a try if you dont have any places to go.

The shuttle service is of poor quality, mainly suitable for those who enjoy natural scenery without much human intervention, and the attractions are natural and seasonal, so there will be times when there is nothing to see at those spots. The prices seem a bit high compared to the services provided.
