Cuc Phương is home to an amazing diversity of flora and fauna. Inhabitants of the park include 97 species of mammals, most notable endangered langurs; 300 species of birds; 36 reptilian species; 17 species of amphibians; 11 species of fish; 2,000 species of vascular plants, and thousands of species of insects.
Tam Coc is part of the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site with both cultural and ecological significance. This tourist attraction is renowned for its spectacular landscape of limestone mountains, caves, and rice paddies.
Van Long is also one of the last wild refuges of the endangered Delacour’s langur (population roughly 120), partly because the wetlands keep predators and poachers at bay. Langurs are not easy to spot; try your luck early in the morning or in the evening

5.00We have had two great days with our guide Binh. He has briefed us on the story of Hanoi and Cat BA and has always been attentive that the whole group was fine. We kayaked, swam in the lagoon and went cycling, as well as eating great at the buffet. We agreed on our trip with other tourists who had done similar tours to the bay and no one spoke as well as we did of ours. Quite a hit 🤩
Ninh Binh stunningly beautiful and friendly

5.00We had a great time with our personal tour guide Quang Quack on our 2 day 1 night tour to Cat Ba Island. A short medium grade hike to an amazing view from ngu lan then trung trang caves. Next day was a memory making trip to lang ha bay seeing the floating fishing villages, kayaking around the beautiful limestone scenery & short bike ride through villages. Yummy local oysters featured in a freshly cooked lunch on the boat, a beautiful cruise through the stunning bay. Quang was a great guide, full of local knowledge, flexible & fun to be around. Thanks!!
Beautiful tour
