We will also visit the crocodile swamp. The tour will continue with a trip to the bat lagoon before beginning our venture up to Tang Bong Tower at a height of 26 meters to take in the panoramic beauty of the biosphere reserve below. After conquering the tower, we will have a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we will depart for Forest Park (Monkey Island), where we will visit Can Gio Museum and Mangrove Forest Park Faun Conservation - filled with thousands of monkeys as well as saltwater crocodiles.

Great day and great host. The speedboat trip around the mangrove area was amazing and the various different stops along the way were brilliant.
