ITINERARY

Our team willget picked-up at your accommodation in the city center and drive to countryside by private van (approx 45 minutes transfer). You will get on your bicycle in Long Hau and start cycling on small roads through fish farms and shrimps aquaculture as well as along the river for 7 km until the ferry station. The ferry ride will take you and your bike to the other side of the Saigon River which many locals use to get to work daily.

Once on the riverbank, you will continue cycling through small authentic farmer villages. This ride will enable you to travel along salt fields and a number of edible bird nest farms.

You will continue for 6 more kilometers before getting to the biggest bridge in the area with a lovely view of the local fishermen at work. It will then be time to get back on your bike for the last 16 km to the Eco- TheEco-Park’s entrance will be crossed through a single track path in the middle of the mangrove forest and you will be able to spot some of the unique 26 bird species living there including 11 water birds (seasonal)

Once at the center of the park, you will leave your bike and go up to the impressive observatory tower to get a panorama view of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve.

The visit will continue with a boat tour within the mangrove forest where many bats of the red book can be spotted. You will then visit a fish farm in the heart of the forest and meet Can Gio’s “Robinson Crusoe s”, telling you the story of how he can set up his farm in such a remote area without electricity and water. A “southern style” lunch of fresh at the local restaurant before transferring you back to Ho Chi Minh City around 17:30
