Review Body: We traveled three families with children aged five to nine, looking for an experience that would combine genuine nature, wildlife, and adventure. That’s how we found ourselves setting out to search for the beautiful, colorful langur monkeys, which are sadly endangered. It was important to us to find an experience that brought together three things that don’t always go hand in hand: being out in nature, observing wildlife in a completely respectful and non-exploitative way, and an experience that would also work well for families with young children. Luckily, we found this wonderful tour and the excellent guides, who thoughtfully tailored the entire day to our group. Every detail was carefully considered, from the hotel pickup and the beautiful drive from hoi an into the mountains, to the search for the monkeys themselves. Along the way, the guides incorporated additional discoveries and experiences, such as a tree that attracts dozens of different butterfly species, frogs, and more. The search itself requires patience and can be challenging with young children, but the guides knew how to keep everyone engaged. They incorporated breaks in air-conditioned vehicles when needed, and ultimately, thanks to their knowledge and professionalism, we were lucky enough to spot the rare langurs. What stood out most was the guides’ genuine love and respect for nature and wildlife. It was clear that this wasn’t simply a job for them. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves nature and animals, especially families looking for a meaningful wildlife experience that respects the animals and their natural environment.

Review Body: I had an amazing experience! Thanh and Ha did a great job guiding me around Cat Tien and finding some incredible birds and other wildlife, and the rest of the team were incredibly helpful in answering my many questions, and seamlessly putting together a great tour on such short notice! Thanh's positive attitude and infectious enthusiasm for the wildlife made the whole experience such a pleasure, and together with Ha, they both did an incredible job of actually finding many exciting species, including great views of the Gibbons, Langurs, and even a rare Yellow-rumped Flycatcher!

Review Body: We did a 3 days tour at Cat Tien National park. The company did a great job at organising the tour and adapting our demands. Everything went smoothly. Our guide, Quy Hoang, was amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about local birds (but also birds and insects in general). We got a lot of rain but he managed to always find spots to see birds and insects. Highly recommend this company.

Review Body: Quy Huang (our guide for a 3-day tour) was just awesome. Incredibly deep knowledge about birds and reptiles - not only the ones in Cat Tien or Vietnam, but he was able to compare local fauna with that of Borneo and South America as well. Loved the trip.

Throughout the evening, your guide will share how ethical wildlife tourism and conservation work together to protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations. 9 PM: Return to the lodge and rest
