Exciting and stunning views. - The tour is very interesting with a lot of amazing sights and things to do. Our guide was very friendly and helpfull, and if you have dietary restrictions / wishes he will call ahead and inform the restaurant for lunch.
But be advised when they warn you to look after your glasses because of the monkeys what they mean is that you should put them away or they will be gone because the monkeys are way too fast.
But this was of course our own fault and we got them back :)

Nature at its best! - A world away from the hustling Saigon City, we had the most surreal experience on this tour! Linda was an amazing host and we got to see wild animals in their own habitats. I highly recommend families with children to do this tour!

The best day trip from Ho Chi Min City! - If you are looking to get out of the city for a day trip then this is the one to put on the to do list.
We were in safe hands with Linda to guide us through the Mangroves. From taking breath taking photos on top of the bird sanctuary tower to riding a boat along side the mangroves in the river. Oh who can forgot feeding the (aggressive) monkeys and crocodiles!
Thank you Linda for the great day!

A beautiful day away from the crowd - We spent a wonderful day together with Linda, our guide. We loved the mangroves, the time on boat and the vast forest around us. Trees and waters for a day. Beautiful. The crocodiles and the monkeys are an attraction for the kids mostly. For an adult is a bit awkward to know that is actually a crocodile farm. The bonus was a delicious lunch and the fresh seafood tasted in the local market. Thank you Linda.

A nice half-day trip from HCMC but not great value for money - We took this day trip as the last trip of our 3-week stay in Vietnam. Although we booked the "small group", we were the only two people so essentially we had a private tour. Our guide, Tri, was nice and spoke good English.
The trip took 7 hours start to finish, of which 3 were spent on the way to/from the island.
The mangrove forests are magnificent to see and the boat trip was the highlight of this trip. Everything else was a bit underwhelming.
This was actually by far the most expensive trip of our stay in Vietnam and not great value for money compared to our other trips in Vietnam (Mekong, Phu Quoc, Halong Bay, Hue,...). For this reason, I would not have chosen this trip again and would not recommend it to friends.
