A perfect way to see the Vietnam mangroves
The tour of the mangroves was awesome, beautiful beyond words, and unhurried. We were picked up in a car (not a bus) and questions and answers flowed easily and comfortably. The guide was superb, he went out of his way to point out things of interest and responded to every question. Gingo Voyage is an excellent tour agency.
Response from the operator: Dear Marcia, Thank you so much for choosing Ginkgo Voyage and leaving such kind words here. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour of the mangroves with Gingo Voyage. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks & Best Regards, Bao Huynh

Mangrove Tour Overview
Lovely Tour guide, great boat trips around the area as well as a cute little canoe ride. Nice food given as part of the package, the views were really pretty especially being 26m up high at one point! Pick up and drop off from the hostel was lovely too as they gave us water and air con.

Lots of information and beautiful nature
Because of the rainy season, we were the only ones on the tour. They still organised it just for us with the best tourguide, Jun. He told us many things about the city and the mangrove forest. The nature was really beautiful, a must see! Thank you Jun!
Response from the operator: Dear Laurens T, Dear Thank you so much for choosing Ginkgo Voyage and leaving such kind words for us on Tripadvisor.

It was a pleasure to have you on the tour and we hope to see you back in the future. Thanks & Best Regards Sofia

Fun and informative
It's almost 1.5-2 hrs distance from Saigon District 1, depends upon heavy Saigon traffic and ferry availability. Overall it was good, started with mangrove speed boat ride..followed by sampan boat ride in mangrove marshes of Mekong Delta. This was followed by bird watching..nothing to watch here as this was not mating season..however enjoyed the nature walk. Highlight of the tour is crocodile feeding, it was quiet thrilling and fun. Tour guide Jason was experienced with good English, friendly and informative.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing day tour to the Mangrove Forest. Led by our lovely guide, June, we’ve learned a lot about Vietnamese history, culture, and wildlife. June was very knowledgeable and patience with our questions. In the reserve, we went to see the bats, birds and alligators, including feeding it! We also got to see some monkeys in the wild, and had a great lunch. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest cost?
+
Prices start at $68 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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest 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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest?
+
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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest 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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest?
+
Around 2 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 Small-Group Tour to Can Gio Vam Sat Mangrove Forest 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 Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. 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.
