What To Expect

Waddle into the fascinating world of our most endangered primates, off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps. In an easy, 3 hour-stroll, across twisting mountain road, scenic terrain, we will go into secret spaces that only the Red-Shanked Douc Langurs aka Rare Monkeys know. From encountering sprightly off-springs during breeding-season (March to July) to seeing the adults or alpha male, or just to enjoy the sight of monkeys being monkeys, you’ll learn how to tell a "she" from a "he", how to tell their age, and also participate in real-time research by helping to collect data about the monkey we encounter. We will meet a supporting cast of forest creatures; birds, colorful butterflies, plants, or sometimes mongoose. On the trail we travel, I'll find chances to have a conversation with local animal photographers. We can hear the insights and see their amazing photos from them for a better understand of the monkey . Not only we go finding rare animals but also have opportunity to see an amazing hidden sceneries of Monkey Mountain, secret beach, altogether will combine to make our trip full of surprises. Our journey ends where we start.

Absolutely unforgettable!! This excursion in Da Nang was one of the most meaningful and awe-inspiring experiences of our lives. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but also warm, friendly, and deeply committed to the conservation of Vietnam’s incredible wildlife. They made the entire day feel both adventurous and purposeful. The scenery alone was to die for from the lush mountains, sweeping coastal views, and untouched forests that took our breath away. But nothing could prepare us for the moment we spotted the red-shanked douc langurs in the wild. Seeing these rare and stunning monkeys in their natural habitat was truly life-changing. It’s something we’ll never forget. What made it even more powerful was knowing that this excursion supports local conservation and education efforts. It’s clear that the people involved genuinely care about protecting these beautiful animals, and participating in the tour felt like a small but meaningful way to support that mission. If you're looking for something more than just a tour. If you want a real adventure with purpose. We cannot recommend this experience enough. Go. You won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience!

My Husband and me did a motorbike tour with Cillian and Thanh to the Son Tra Peninsula to see the rare red-shanked douc langurs and it was a fantastic experience! They picked us up from our hotel and were super friendly and professional. Both are great, safe drivers, and we felt very well looked after throughout the tour. Cillian shared a lot of interesting facts about the monkeys and we were lucky enough to see several families up close. Thanh helped me to do some great pictures of them. We really enjoyed the day and can definitely recommend the tour with them!

I did the 3pm evening tour with Bao. He was so friendly and informative. We ate mangosteen and waited for a storm to pass. Afterwards we found several families of monkeys and watched the sunset over Son Trả mountain.

This was a great experience! Our guides, Cillian and Bao, were very friendly, very informative and very good at spotting the monkeys. We got to spend a good chunk of time observing the monkeys in their environment. It was peaceful and a gorgeous nature break from the city.
