U Minh Thuong National park

Our guide will warmly welcome you for a scenic three-hour drive to U Minh Thuong National National Park. Along the way, you’ll see thousands hectares of rice paddy, a vibrant symbol of Vietnam’s agricultural success. Once a poverty-stricken region before 2000, this area now helps Vietnam rank among the world’s top three rice exporters, contributing 90% of the nation’s exported rice. At the park, your adventure begins with a peaceful boat ride through tranquil canals covered in duckweed and water lettuce. Deeper into the forest, you’ll spot colorful birds like black coucal, king fisher and purple swamphens thriving in their natural habitat. A soft carpet of water ferns surrounds you, immersing you in pristine wilderness. Playful monkeys swinging through the trees and a panoramic view from the observation tower add to the unforgettable experience.

As we ride, you’ll marvel at villagers skillfully crossing rivers on monkey bridges and navigating waterways by boat, preserving age-old traditions. This authentic journey into rural Vietnam will be a highlight of your trip. We’ll conclude with a relaxing two-hour drive back, reflecting on this unforgettable experience.
