    Tour to Monkey Island is highly recommend

    We went on a tour to Can Gio Monkey Island. Our tour was led by Giang and he was a fantastic guide. He communicated with us the day before to ensure a smooth pickup from our hotel the next day. It was very interesting to learn about the area while also getting the experience of walking along the streets and paths with all the hundreds of curious and mischievous monkeys. Feeding them, or more like them helping themselves to the food right out of your hands, was so much fun. And the lunch that was provided was delicious, it was so much food that we all left completely full! I would highly recommend this tour for a half day getaway outside of HCMC.

    Monkey Island & Can Gio

    My family and I had a fantastic time on this tour, and we were guided by Hawey! From pickup at our hotel to drop off, Hawey was very engaging and provided us with plenty of information about the tour and war. This experience was great, however we didn’t ride the speedboats due to the low tide but the walkthrough of the mangrove forest was incredible. Hawey also helped organise monkey feeding when some family members wanted to experience it, so thank you Hawey! We were also provided with a lunch that was very filling and delicious. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh! It was a nice little half day trip to get out of the hustle and bustle of the busy city.

    Response from the operator: Dear 745magdalenew, Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Vietnam Travel Group! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour. It means a lot to us that we could make your trip memorable. If there's anything we can do to improve or assist with future travel plans, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

    Great day on monkey island with guide KEN

    Together with my daughter (16) we booked this trip to the monkey island. We had such a great day and time!!! The trip was well organized and the driver perfect, but our guide KEN made this trip special and an amazing experience for us. He told us everything about the vietnamese culture, the food, the mangroves, the wildlife, the daily life and the history. After being in the mangroves, we visited a local market where KEN picked out some fresh sea food and then we had an amazing and really tasty lunch. Having deliciuos oysters, snails, mussels etc. KEN really made our day and we would highly reccomend to ask for him as your tour guide. He as well gave us later on some good tipps for Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks Ken for that great day and all the best for you ☺️🤗👍!!!

    Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.

    How much does Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.

    Is Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History?

    +

    Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cần Giờ Eco-Tour with Monkeys, Crocs & War History?
