Step into Vietnam’s oldest national park on this immersive day tour through Cúc Phương National Park, located about 120 km south-west of Hanoi.
You’ll trek into lush rainforest valleys, stand beside majestic ancient trees, and explore prehistoric cave sites that tell the story of early humans. A highlight is the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, where rescued langurs, gibbons and other rare primates are rehabilitated and protected. Your guide will help you spot rare flora and fauna — including orchids, bats, butterflies, and sometimes even langurs in the wild — while sharing the park’s fascinating conservation story. This tour is ideal for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to escape the city for a breath of fresh, green forest air.
