Full description

During the trip, visitors will visit Van Long - a famous place with a special
ecosystem, with mountains, lakes, and especially flooded forests. Visitors can
take a boat on the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery and observe birds and
animals living in the area.

Then, the trip will continue to Cuc Phuong, which is a national park with rich
biodiversity and many rare animal species. Here, visitors can tour forest
trails, visit Cuc Phuong museum and other attractions to better understand the
natural and cultural heritage of the region.

07:30 – Wake Up the Explorer in You

Our guide greets you at your hotel or homestay. A comfy minivan ride takes you
away from the town buzz and closer to nature's silence. Today, you'll step
into landscapes where time seems to stand still.

08:00 – Van Long: The Silent Bay

Glide in a tiny wooden boat across Van Long Lagoon, known as “the bay without
waves.” No noise, no rush – just mirror-like water reflecting limestone
towers. If lucky, you'll spot storks taking flight or the rare Delacour's
langur watching from above – a privilege few travelers ever witness.

09:30 – Road to the Oldest Forest

Leave the calm waters behind and journey toward Cuc Phuong National Park,
Vietnam's very first national park. As the road winds deeper, the green
curtain of jungle opens its arms to welcome you.

10:30 – Lunch in the Jungle's Embrace

Savor rustic Vietnamese dishes at a local restaurant. Every bite prepares you
for the forest adventure ahead.

11:30 – Meeting the Forest Guardians

Visit the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, where gibbons sing their morning
songs and langurs leap from branch to branch. Here, you'll see the fight for
survival and the passion of people who dedicate their lives to protect them.

13:30 – Echoes of Prehistoric Man

At Nguoi Xua Cave, step into chambers where humans lived over 7,500 years ago.
Stone tools, ancient graves, and the chill of the cave walls tell a story
older than any book.

14:15 – Deeper Into the Green Heart

A forest road carries you 20 km inside Cuc Phuong. Then, with each step on the
trail, you'll be wrapped in birdsong, giant ferns, and the mystery of
untouched wilderness.

14:40 – The Thousand-Year Ash Tree

Stand before a colossal tree that has witnessed centuries of storms, wars, and
seasons. Touch its roots and feel a connection that bridges past and present,
human and nature.

16:00 – Farewell, But Not Goodbye

The forest slowly disappears behind as we head back. But its spirit lingers,
quietly reminding you of the wild beauty we must cherish.

17:00 – Return to Tam Coc

Arrive at your hotel, carrying not just photos, but stories to tell and
memories that will last.
