Monkey Island(Hon Lao)

Embraced by the azure sea, Monkey Island quietly blossoms like an emerald. Sunlight filters through the coconut groves, shimmering on the golden sands where playful monkeys frolic. Waves gently lap the shore, bringing greetings from afar. This is a natural paradise where every scene speaks of the joy of life. Stroll along, feel the gentle sea breeze, listen to the monkeys' cheerful songs, and return your soul to purest tranquility. Monkey Island awaits your encounter.

Monkey Island is the largest monkey-inhabited island in Vietnam. There are quite a lot of monkeys in this place. Monkeys of all sizes are not afraid of people. They will take the initiative to ask for things and take food from your hands. They are very polite. Remember to keep sunglasses and mobile phones in your hands.

Monkey Island is a natural gathering area for monkeys. The number of monkeys here is very abundant, and many of them are very lively and cute. Some animals on Monkey Island are not afraid of humans, and humans passing by here can approach them at will.

Before I went to Monkey Island, I thought that people like me, who were at the wildlife park, might not be particularly interested. But I didn't expect the old people and children to have a lot of fun. Before going there, I saw the strategy that monkeys would come out to grab food. I was very careful, but the wild monkeys still let you guard against it. It's different from the monkeys in the interactive zone in the wildlife park and the wild monkeys sitting in the window of the bus. It's really wild. Walking on the road, three or five groups of small monkeys are naive and lovely, but there are also monkeys to rob openly. My mother grabbed the bread in her hand and was snatched by the monkeys in the back, and the oranges in the hands of tourists were robbed by the monkeys to eat slowly in the trees. There are monkey sketches in the humor theatre. The children laugh up and down. It can be said that "monkeys are interesting". As far as safety is concerned, as long as you don't take food out and shake it, and don't try to snatch it back when monkeys come to snatch it, it should be very safe.

The monkeys seemed to be kept in captivity; after arriving on the island, you wouldn't see any monkeys, just beach chairs, restaurants, vendors selling water and snacks, and some trendy pavilions and swings for taking photos. After walking about 200 meters, you'll start seeing monkeys; there are quite a few, and they're generally well-behaved, not grabbing things. Even if you're holding a bag, they won't snatch it; they'll wait for you to take it out before taking it. I bought a bunch of small bananas for 25,000 won at the pier and fed them. There's a small performance later, but it's very basic and not worth watching. Aside from the monkeys, enjoying the sea breeze on the free lounge chairs is quite nice.

Came here as part of a tour, yes the beach is beautiful but I didn't like seeing the little monkeys running around with the dog on a leash. The monkeys wandering around were ok and didn't cause us any trouble. Well worth a visit but keep your belongings. They will jump on you and take anything you don't put away properly. Don't walk around with ice cream if you have any sense. I came here because a local guide took me there. I was very interested in seeing the monkeys but once I got here I realized that this was not just a holiday excursion. There were too many monkeys and the place was dirty with a lot of trash around. I don't know if this place is helping the monkeys or the locals. It just felt a bit sad.
