Mui Ca Mau (Ca Mau Cape) National Park in Vietnam's southernmost province of Ca Mau, has emerged as a hotspot for local and international travelers thanks to its beguiling forests.

The national park is the world's 2,088th Ramsar site of Wetlands of International Importance.

Tourists who visit Mui Ca Mau National Park are treated to a stunning fresh-air mangrove forest ecosystem which spans 20,000 hectares. 

A boat tour through the forest offers an opportunity to get a closer look at mangroves, check out local oyster farms, and learn about local aquaculture.

According to Tran Hieu Hung, director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Ca Mau Province has significant potential for tourism development, and tours through its forests draw crowds of nature lovers.

Since the start of the year, an estimated 1.6 million tourists have traveled to the province, reaching 71 percent of its full-year target. 

During this period, the province has brought in over VND2.4 trillion (US$97 million) in revenue from tourism.

Ecotourism, community-based tourism, and craft tourism are currently among the province's top offerings.

Since forest tours were launched in late 2018, over 50,000 local and international tourists have traveled through the forests by boat, said Nguyen Van Hon, director of Sunset Travel - Service and Trade Company, which operates these tours.

An across-forest tour gives visitors a 20-kilometer boat ride through mangrove forest, primeval forests, and a floodplain.
