Review Body: We did the night jungle trek and it was amazing! We saw lots of animals, even ones that were apparently quite rare to see. Besides all the animals that we saw, it was a nice night hike, a very different experience than the regular hike during the day. Be prepared for walking through the water with your feet and ankles (most animals get close to the river so there’s more chance to see them over there). Our guide was really funny and nice, and was truly guiding us, he knew a lot about the jungle and about the animals, insects, etc. We would do this tour again if we would come back to Phong Nha, it was the highlight of our trip! Very much worth the money

Review Body: By the time it got dark, we drove with our two children (12 years old) and two guides towards the Botanical Garden, where another guide who works in the park joined us. We saw a lot of animals: moths, spiders, iguanas, a snake, geckos and much more. It was quite exciting at times, especially for the children, because we walked through a stream in the dark. The trip was well prepared: everyone received a good headlamp, with which you could shine very far, there was water and delicious rice cakes. The guides made walking sticks for everyone and were very skilled. Truly a trip you will never forget!

Review Body: We absolutely loved our jungle night trek! The group size is small but this makes the experience more intimate. Our guides were really friendly and had amazing ability to spot animals on the ground or in trees, using only their head torches. Snacks, head torches and water is provided. Be aware that it is largely a luck game… as the guides will tell you in the briefing. We were lucky and patient enough to see multiple snakes, frogs, stick insects, tarantulas and more! Couldn’t recommend this experience enough. Dinner included at Bamboo restaurant pre departure.

Review Body: There was just 2 of us on the tour so it was essentially private which was great. Hai, our guide was great, as were the two other guides who put in lots of effort to spot different animals for us. We'd never walked around jungle terrain at night before, and even though we were mostly on the beaten path it was still a really great experience. We would highly recommend it. Dinner at the restaurant before the walk was tasty too!

Review Body: The night jungle tour was literally out of this world and so much better than we had ever expected it to be- all the guides were so professional and enthusiastic about the wildlife and imparting their knowledge. Such an exciting and memorable experience seeing so many different creatures- can’t recommend booking with eco conservation tours enough! You’ll have so much fun whilst also supporting such a great company :)

Review Body: Amazing experience! I’m super afraid of snakes but with those 3 experts with me I felt safe and grateful to be able to explore the forest at night. It was just marvelous. Hear and see the wildlife with prepared guides is the best option.

Review Body: We booked a jungle tour with them and had an amazing experience! Would definitely recommend this tour to nature loving people. Food was also delicious. Since we were there in the low season we had a private tour with 5 guides from them who picked us up with their motorbikes and easyrided us through the day. We visited the phong nha botanical garden and rescue center first and started our trip into the jungle from there. After a visit to the rescued animals we started to walk down into the valley through fairly easy walkable paths. At some point we took a steeper path which led us through way more densely grown terrain into the valley. Beautiful footpath through thick vietnamese jungle. This part requires a certain level of sure-footedness especially if it‘s rainy as was the case for us. At the bottom of this path we had lunch in a well protected and dry area, thus also suitable for rainy days. Lunch was amazing. The guides prepared pork and vegetables fried over a natural fire pit. With some provided herbs, sprouts and fresh vegetables you could roll your own vietnamese fresh rolls. Freshly cut watermelon as well as tea and coffee was provided after the lunch. Our way back up led us through dense jungle terrain again and eventually up the waterfall you can see from the botanical garden. We greatly appreciated the help from the tour guides who made sure we don‘t trip and fall into the flowing waters. I don‘t think they lead all guests up the waterfall as it requires even better grip and technique than the jungle paths, but this was an absolute highlight to navigate the challenging rocks of the waterfall. So far the best tour we did in Phong Nha and Vietnam. Would definitely recommend it to sure-footed and physically active people!

Review Body: It was a revealing experience, and I highly recommend it! Not only did we have a great time and gain knowledge about wildlife, but we also had the opportunity to contribute to this profound initiative. Our tour guide, Trang, is an intelligent woman and a skilled guide. She provided information about the rescue center, wildlife, and plants of the jungle, historical facts about Vietnam, and made our tour super fun at the same time. Her English is good, and she was very helpful with everything. Khoa, the support person for the tour, carried the necessary equipment, cooked a surprising lunch for us in the jungle, and showed us interesting plants and some survival tricks. No matter if you are traveling alone, with your partner, or with your family, don't miss the opportunity to walk through the jungle and support the rescue center!

Review Body: We had an amazing tour with Trang. She gave us so many information about wildlife and also the war in this area. The prepared lunch was delicious and very nice serves on banana leaves. We went to botanic garden by scooter. Hung and Khoa our drivers were perfect. We felt very safe. Because of low season Wer were just four. Very nice little group. We can highly recommend this tour.

Review Body: The tour-guide Chang was amazing! She was very enthusiastic and went along with our preferences. We were also only 2 people, so it was a private tour! Part of the money goes to a conservation site, where they care for endangered animals and release them into the wild. The trek was gorgeous, not too easy and the lunch was wonderful. 10/10. Do this!
