We had a great trip with only 5 people on a speedboat. The ride was very pleasant, our tour guide Moon was so friendly, warm and very attentive and speaks perfect English! We were very well catered for, there was banh mi, fruit, coffee, water and a huge lunch. On the tour we visited a local market, took a boat trip through a mangrove forest with bats, watched monkeys, fished crocodiles and made several hikes through the jungle.

I just got back from a trip to the Cam Gio mangrove biosphere and it was amazing! Definitely off the beaten path, we didn't see any other tourists. The boat there was fun and comfy, and we got to see everything! A huge bat colony, crocodiles which we got to feed, a troupe of monkey mamas and their babies, and beautiful birds! You end with this incredible Vietnamese lunch, my only complaint was that it was SO MUCH incredible food I ate too much and there was still a bunch left over.
But the best part of the trip was Yo! Our guide! He was as excited to see the mangroves as we were, and he was great at talking about the history of the mangroves, and their recovery after the Vietnam war. Even when we passed through the land of little wormy caterpillars he was a champ, and always made sure we had plenty of water and got to see all the exciting things! That man deserves a raise because he was the best. Overall, 10/10, I couldn't recommend doing it enough!

In etwas über einer Stunde geht es mit Motorboot raus aus dem Zentrum von Saigon in eine andere Welt. Vom Boot aus kann man das Leben im und am Fluss beobachten. Man bekommt schnell mit sobald der Nationalpark erreicht ist.. es erwarten einen Mangrovenwälder, Fledermäuse, Krokodile, Affen, diverse Vogelarten und natürlich auch Insekten und Reptilien.
