Tra Su Cajuput Forest flood season
Southern Vietnam · September – November
September–November brings the Mekong flood, turning Tra Su's forest into a boatable bird sanctuary in An Giang.
About this event
What happens
During the flood season, Tra Su Cajuput Forest in An Giang province transforms into a lush wetland, with waterways rising and the cajuput trees reflected in mirror-like pools. The forest becomes a haven for migratory birds and aquatic life, offering vibrant scenery and unique biodiversity. Visitors can witness the landscape at its most picturesque, especially from September to November.
What people do
Visitors take boat tours along narrow channels, gliding through dense cajuput groves and floating duckweed. Birdwatching is popular, with many species visible from observation towers or along the water. Many also explore walking paths and stop at local floating restaurants for regional specialties.
Practical tips
Arrive early in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the best light for photography. Wear lightweight clothing and bring insect repellent, as the forest is humid and mosquitoes are common. Boats depart from the main entrance of Tra Su Forest, and local guides are available for hire.
