From Ho Chi Minh: Can Gio Trek – Monkey Island & Crocodile Farm

We really enjoyed this experience. As part of the journey our guide Thang gave us a description of plans to build a bridge to replace the ferry the bus travelled on, and ongoing background on how Vietnam is growing and changing. We enjoyed feeding the monkeys, with guidance from Thang. The crocodiles were a bit sleepy, but it was good to see them in their natural habitat, and not some artificial concrete environment. We opted for taking the speedboat to the Sac Guerrilla Base, which was enjoyable. The base gave us great insights into the life of the Vietnamese who survived there during the war. As a bonus, some elderly veterans from that time were visiting that day. The meal before we returned was delicious, I'm a vegetarian, and there were three options available to eat. We also visited a local fish market, and fisherman's temple. We felt we got a low-key, genuine insight into the local Vietnamese culture. We would highly recommend it.

A must see experience ❤️ many thanks to Aaron

A great day out! Sam was a fantastic guide and no dramas with the bus etc, it never felt too crowded either. The monkeys did their monkey things well, my son also really liked checking out the crocs, crabs, mudskippers and doing the board walks. Some traffic on the way back - no fault or issue for us, but just keep post-trip plans flexible. Again, highly recommended!

Tom and Maddie were nice guides. Good communication and everything well organized. It was a nice experience.

A decent day out. I didn’t have much interest feeding the monkeys but feeding the crocodiles was amazing! Paid extra to go on the speed boat into the jungle for the war exhibit which was great fun and very interesting for anyone interested in the war. Lunch was good especially for those who like the local food. You will spend a lot of time in the minibus or waiting for the ferry. All in all I’m glad I booked the trip just to feed the crocodiles!

Had a great day at Monkey Island. We saw hundreds of monkeys and even had the chance to feed them. Thang was an awesome guide and shared many locals facts on our ride. Aaron was great at communicating pick up at our hotel, and everything went smoothly.

It was beautiful seeing wild monkeys in natural habitat and feeding them. Military base was worth seeing to meet a piece of Vietnamese history. Our quide was great and very knowledgeable.

Getting to feed the monkeys up close was an unforgettable highlight, and seeing them from such a close distance was amazing. The only small inconvenience was that I couldn’t wear my glasses because the monkeys might grab them, which was a bit challenging since I’m nearsighted. Alligator fishing was also a unique and exciting activity, and the historical tour of the Rung Sac Guerrilla Base gave us a deeper understanding of Can Gio’s history and was definitely worth visiting. Special thanks to Khanh for the quick and helpful communication before the tour, and to our guide Thang for his excellent service, detailed explanations, and assistance throughout the trip. Whenever we had questions or needed help, they were always ready to assist. I’ll definitely come back with my family next time. Highly recommended!

Had an awesome time with monkeys!!

The tour was awesome, we are a Chilean couple travelling and this was a really good experience to get out of the city and discover Vietnam. Our tour guide Aaron was the best, very attentive with the group. The food was also incredible. I would recommend this to anyone
