This is a great experience to get up close and personal with the monkeys. The guide, Danh, was fantastic. Didn’t enjoy the fish market at the end, and the food was not great…but the tour itself was perfect!
It was a perfect day. Dan, our guide, was excellent, knowledgeable, and very informative. The tour was exceptionally well organized and enjoyable. It's a perfect experience for couples, families, and solo travelers alike. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tour guide Dan was very knowledgeable, gave us a lot of fun facts during the tour and showed us some pretty unique local spots. It did not feel like he was trying to take us to places that ripped us off and charged us “American” rates. He showed up early and communicated very clearly!
Fantastic day out -we enjoyed everything-the guide was great /monkey island and speedboat was very good-perfect-highly recommended
Enjoyed this tour, time and logistics to get to the tour were very time-consuming (2+ hours each way), and time with and around monkeys were only about 30-35 minutes. We wished there was more time around the monkeys and less time walking through the trail to the old military base (about an 1-hour).
Nice day overall, good tour guide. Cheeky monkeys, the village was alright but maybe not my cup of tea.
Light tour with good balance between travel and activities. Signature trip with must do activities I if you’re around HCMC.
Brill trip Fu our guide was funny and knowledgeable and the trip was well timed and organised from start to finish -collected from our hotel early then driven to the car ferry across to the island. After a short comfort break (take paper) we had fun feeding nuts to the monkeys in Can Gio but they DO steal caps and sunglsses so listen to your guide's advice ! We saw lots of lazy crocs (feeding only at weekends ) then walked in to the mangroves to see a Viet Cong mock up settlement and watched a good filming about their lives here. Then we had a speedboat ride back through the mangroves. Our lunch stop was at a fab place for a hotpot lunch with a lovely pool / changing rooms and loos, make sure you take your swimmies an a towel. Finally dropped off in central HCMC about 5.30 -a fab day, good driver , guide, itinerary, breaks and timings..... thank you
I recommend this tour, the guides know and make the experience safe comfortable, and culturally rich
The hike was wonderful, I loved it! Our guide, Danh, is a young, handsome and always smiling boy; he managed to devote attention to everyone and answered every question. Lunch was in an excellent restaurant with a choice of menus. I recommend it to both adults and children! Sorry I didn't take a group photo."
