Overview
U Minh Ha is a protected swamp forest in Ca Mau of about 8,256 hectares, known for its cajuput (tram) trees, reeds and birds. Visitors take small boats along channels through the forest, and the green canopy over the water is the main draw.
A June 2026 report says hundreds of hectares of native tram trees in the park are suffering and falling over, so conditions can differ from older photos. A guide reports an entry fee of around 10,000 VND and hours of about 7:30 – 17:00 daily; confirm before you go. December to February is the early dry season, while May to November suits boat trips.
Highlights
- Take a boat through the cajuput forest
- Watch for birds in the canopy
- Walk on the forest paths
- Visit in the dry season for easy access
