Phu My Hung to Can Gio in the Mekong Delta

Our motorbike day-trip to the Mekong Delta was not the main part of the Mekong... but East of where the tours mostly go.

The trail to Can Gio from Phu My Hung in District 7 (south of HCMC) is really great! The road is decent and wide and there is not a lot of traffic. The biggest plus is the lack of traffic!

The map above is from Google Maps.

There is a Mangrove Biosphere Reserve in Can Gio [shown by the light green section in the map above], which you can take a two-hour boat ride through. (You can even feed alligators!) We chose not to do this, as we just enjoyed the ride to and from the beach... including a lunch and a couple roadside cafes.  :)  Can Gio is also where Monkey Island is!
