Known as “the lungs of Ho Chi Minh City,” the Can Gio Biosphere Reserve is a vast wetland ecosystem of mangroves that plays a vital role in absorbing CO₂ and oxygenating the air. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2000, it is one of Vietnam’s most important wildlife sanctuaries and home to several rare species and just 40 km from the city.
For corporate groups and incentive travellers, this one-day excursion offers a welcome change of pace and a meaningful connection with nature. Guests travel by private speedboat along scenic rivers, passing both urban and rural landscapes before reaching the tranquil mangrove forests. The journey includes a serene rowing boat experience on the Giant Bat Lagoon and the option of a gentle jungle trek through the reserve.
Destination Asia Events can tailor the program to include a private riverside lunch featuring local ingredients, interactive conservation talks, or guided nature walks with local experts, ideal for team bonding or aligning with CSR goals. The trip accommodates up to 40 guests and operates year-round, though the dry season from December to May offers the best weather and water conditions.
Easily accessible from central Saigon and efficiently managed to suit busy schedules, the Can Gio Biosphere Reserve program combines adventure, relaxation, and purpose, making it a memorable highlight for meetings and incentive groups seeking an authentic Vietnamese experience.
