Itinerary

Meet and greet at hotel or meeting point

This morning, you will be picked up from your hotel at 8am for Can gio which is considered as the "lung" of Ho Chi Minh city, also known as “Monkey Island”. 

Take a local ferry

You will cross a local ferry Binh Khanh and on the other side of the ferry, you will enter a whole different world. 

Visit Hang Duong seafood market

Our first stop is the local seafood market selling a wide variety of freshly caught seafood such as crabs, shrimp, clams, scallops, squid, oysters, and many kinds of fish—all at very reasonable prices. Known for its bustling atmosphere and incredibly fresh offerings, this local market is the heart of Cần Giờ’s seafood trade.

Visit the Temple of the Whale God

Continue on to the beach of Can Thanh town where life revolves around the sea. Most families here have been involved in fishing for generations. Visit the Temple of the Whale God (also known as the Temple of Water General or Lang Ong Thuy Tuong), primarily dedicated to the Whale God, revered as the sacred guardian and protector of fishermen and seafarers.

Local lunch

Enjoy a local lunch at a local restaurant

Visit the monkey island

After a local lunch, we head into the mangrove forest, home to over 1,000 playful monkeys. You'll have the chance to snap fun photos as curious monkeys gather around and even climb onto your shoulder. The adventure continues with a short walk to the crocodile farm, where you can observe these fascinating reptiles up close. 

Finally, we will transfer back to Ho Chi Minh city arriving in the late afternoon.
