At dawn, the mist still clings to the forest canopy, and the air hums with the sound of hidden wildlife. Your journey begins with a transfer from Dalat or Ho Chi Minh City into the wild heart of Nam Cat Tien National Park—a sanctuary of ancient trees, vibrant birdlife, and rare animals.

On the first day, you’ll trek through towering hardwood forests, where trees have stood for centuries, before returning for dinner and an unforgettable night safari. Riding by jeep into the darkness, you’ll listen to the forest come alive—spotting deer, wild boar, and maybe even the shadow of a rhinoceros by the riverside.

The following morning, the calls of gibbons wake you before you set off toward Bau Sau, the famous Crocodile Lake. Here, you trek past wetlands alive with bird song, orchids, and butterflies, and watch crocodiles glide through still waters. Surrounded by the rhythms of nature, you’ll feel transported to a world that exists far from the cities you left behind.

Join us on this rare opportunity to explore Vietnam’s wildest national park and experience the magic of its forests, rivers, and wildlife up close!

    We had such a great motorbike tour with Tom and his friend! The scenery was stunning, and they shared lots of interesting stories about the places we visited. We always felt safe on the ride, and they took us to hidden, authentic spots we would have never found on our own. Definitely recommend!!!

    Tai is a skilled guide and rider, and I really enjoyed riding with him. What made it even better was that the company made sure my wife and daughter, who don’t ride, could still join and have a great time.

    I joined the Hike and Bike tour to Langbiang Mountain and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Jim, my guide, was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and what I really appreciated, he respected the silence of nature and let me enjoy long quiet moments during the hike (it was just the two of us). Most of the hike goes through a stunning pine forest, and the view from the top is absolutely worth the effort. The mountain bike I got was outstanding, honestly the best I’ve ever ridden, which made climbing uphill surprisingly easy most of the time. Be ready though: this tour isn’t for the faint-hearted. The trails are steep, always up or down, and the pine needles can be slippery underfoot. My only real downside was the cycling section, which took place entirely on busy roads. I would have loved to ride on quieter paths outside the city instead.
