Nature Reserves & Wetland Tours from Can Tho
Almost all of the delta is farmed, which makes the few surviving wetlands worth the drive. Lung Ngoc Hoang in neighbouring Hau Giang province protects nearly 3,000 hectares of cajuput swamp and open water on small boats and boardwalks; Bang Lang stork garden fills at dusk with thousands of birds; and the Tra Su cajuput forest near Chau Doc floods to a green carpet of duckweed after the rains.

Nature & Wetlands i Can Tho — Vanliga frågor
What is Lung Ngoc Hoang?
A nature reserve of about 2,800 hectares in Hau Giang province, roughly two hours south of Can Tho, protecting one of the last stretches of cajuput swamp forest in the Mekong Delta. Visits are by small boat through the channels, and tours cost around €21.
When is the best time to see the Tra Su cajuput forest?
From roughly September to November, when the floodwater is high and the surface turns solid green with duckweed. It sits near Chau Doc, about three hours from Can Tho, so it is usually a long day trip or part of a two-day route.
Can you see birds near Can Tho?
Yes — the Bang Lang stork garden about 45 minutes west holds thousands of storks and egrets that come in to roost around 5pm, and the wetland reserves further south add herons, kingfishers and, with luck, painted storks.
