  • We fly north to Da Nang, with time to relax and explore the city. In the evening, we’ll gather for a group dinner and to watch the famous Da Nang Dragon Bridge.

  • Head into the mountains of Son Tra to see the famous red-shanked douc langurs, known as the “Queen of the Primates” . Along the way, we may also encounter macaques, visit the Linh Ung Pagoda and Lady Buddha statue, and enjoy beautiful views of the city. By sunset, we transfer to Bach Ma National Park.

  • A full day exploring Bach Ma’s forests, waterfalls, and wildlife. With luck, we may hear or glimpse the elusive northern yellow-cheeked gibbon.

  • We’ll spend another morning in the forest to give us more opportunity to see gibbons, before traveling the iconic Hai Van Pass. By evening, we arrive in Tam My, ready for the next conservation experience.

  • Rise early to see the critically endangered grey-shanked douc langur, found only in central Vietnam. After wildlife watching, we’ll spend the day with GreenViet, taking part in hands-on conservation—tree planting, habitat restoration, or community clean-up work. Evening return to Da Nang.
