Can Gio is a low palm-fringed island sitting at the mouth of the Saigon River, some 25km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. The mangrove forest in Can Gio possesses a high biodiversity with more than 200 species of fauna and 52 species of flora. The effects of the recent wars on these ecosystems have been devastating, and local people have made great efforts to rehabilitate the mangroves. Today, it has become one of the most extensive sites of rehabilitated mangroves in the world. The island, which is at the intersection between the Saigon River and the sea, was created by silt washing downstream. It’s hard-packed mud rather than a sandy beach, so it attracts few visitors, and the area remains entirely undeveloped.

The private Can Gio Eco tour offers a flexible departure time. Arriving at Can Gio, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a fresh green environment and explore the mysteries of the tidal swamp ecosystem, as well as the thrill of the amphibious commando legends of the Vietnam War. This ecological tour takes you away from the bustle and hustle of Ho Chi Minh City to a unique natural environment.
