Our trek will also introduce us to a variety of forest inhabitants, including birds, vibrant butterflies, diverse flora, and occasionally, mongooses.\n\nAs we navigate the trail, I’ll seize opportunities to engage with local wildlife photographers, allowing us to absorb their insights and view their stunning photographs for a deeper appreciation of the monkeys.\n\nOur adventure is not just about seeking out rare creatures; it’s also a chance to discover the breathtaking, hidden vistas of Monkey Mountain, including secluded beaches, which promise to make our excursion an array of delightful surprises.\n\nWe’ll conclude our journey at our starting point.

Great for wildlife lovers and photographers! - This wildlife experience was so amazing! Bao is a wonderful guide with lots of informations. The group was small and I felt comfortable on the scooter the whole tour along. The staff was also really helpful with my camera equipment - that was so nice. There was also a great view from the mountains on the ocean. I made the tour on my own and I felt save the whole time. If you're a nature enthusiast or photographer this is the best choice for you! Also the best chance to see a really rare animal in its natural environment. Thank you so much ❤️

Highly recommended tour, super beautiful nature with great animals - The tour was really incredible. Chris, Adam and their team led us to beautiful places where we saw the monkeys almost everywhere. We have done many tours in Vietnam, but this one was really unique and recommended for any nature or animal lover.

So lucky to see the douc langurs - This is the only tour I’ve seen offering this experience specifically on the douc langurs and I’m so glad I booked it. Really thankful to our guides who made the pleasant bike ride to Son Tra Mountain very informative. Their expertise was well appreciated in spotting the langurs as well as local recommendations in Da Nang. I scraped my leg on the motorbike accidentally brushing against a thorny branch and our guide was quick to help and administer first aid. Thank you so much for such a great experience.

Best Safari Tour ever! - Do you ever were on a Tour and don‘t wanted the Tour coming to an end because you felt so comfortable? This two young, local and english speaking guides really showed us the most peaceful places and we were so lucky to get the chance to see plenty of red shanked doucs and a few other beautiful animals too. If you are in Da Nang you must book this Trip, I promise you won‘t regret it!

Amazing nature experience - Really amazing experience, so exciting to sit on the scooter to watch for the monkeys in dense forest. We got to see 5-6 groups of monkeys, some large and even a small baby. Incredible. additionally a nice temperature in the forest compared to in the city. The view is striking to the whole landscape is only green of forest. Great that there are such places that are protected and not being destroyed by such tourists as me. There were no other people than us 3 tourists plus guide. Chris took really good care of me having plenty of time to stop along the way
