The Tour
On Saturday
August 23rd 2014, we arranged for several families in
Saigon to join us on a tour to Can Gio Mangrove Forest, in collaboration with
Australia International School Vietnam.
Can Gio is a protected
Unesco Biosphere Reserve of thick mangrove swamps with remarkably rich biodiversity, which remains one of Vietnam’s best kept secrets.
Our families departed Saigon early
Saturday morning aboard our luxury speedboats to begin an amazing itinerary starting at a local riverside Mekong Delta market.
From there our boats meandered through the sleepy backwaters of picturesque Can Gio. We visited the Vam Set Eco
Park, where the kids enjoyed meeting monkeys and feeding crabs, and boat rowing through the eerily quiet bat lagoon.
One of the most exciting parts of the tour was the crocodile feeding, which the parents enjoyed as much as the kids!
Afterwards, the kids had the chance to hold adorable little baby crocs!
After a day full of adventures, a traditional
Vietnamese lunch was enjoyed, before heading back to Saigon by speedboat, where the kids where presented with our
Young Explorers Club certificates and some goodies from
Les Rives.
A great day out was had by all!
