Cuc Phuong Wildlife

Day 1

Your journey begins with a visit to Cuc Phuong’s Visitor Centre, where you’ll gain insight into the park’s rich ecosystem and conservation efforts. Next, stop at the Endangered Primate Rescue Centre, where langurs and gibbons rescued from poachers are rehabilitated before being released back into the wild. If there’s time you’ll also visit the Turtle Conservation Centre, home to several endangered turtle species.

After a simple yet satisfying lunch at the park headquarters, set off on a scenic 9 km trek through dense forest trails, surrounded by towering ancient trees and the sounds of wildlife. Return for dinner then as night falls, embark on a guided nocturnal wildlife walk, using spotting lamps to catch glimpses of owls, civets, flying squirrels, and other elusive night creatures. Spend the night in a simple guesthouse within the park, offering a true back-to-nature experience.

Day 2

The next morning, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the botanical gardens before departing for the UNESCO-listed Trang An Landscape Complex. Board a traditional rowboat and glide through a breath-taking maze of limestone karsts, tranquil rivers, and hidden caves. Let the rhythmic paddling of your boatman set the pace as you soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Conclude the adventure with a delicious Vietnamese lunch before heading to your hotel, with free time to explore local markets and the historic Thai Vi Temple.
