A monkey safari to Son Tra Peninsula, a hidden forest few locals know
Leave the tourist spots behind and head deep into Son Tra Nature Reserve to look for the red-shanked douc langur, one of the world's most endangered primates, in its natural habitat. A wildlife expert guide takes you to the places where the monkeys often appear.
To minimize the impact on wildlife, the tour runs in small groups of about 2–3 people. Use binoculars to observe the shy monkeys up close, with a chance to capture them on video and photos.
Besides the monkeys, you can meet birds, butterflies and diverse plants of the forest, and enjoy the scenery of Monkey Mountain and hidden beaches.
Exploring Son Tra Nature Reserve (approx. 3 hours)
Travel along winding mountain roads and scenic terrain to the forest spots where the red-shanked douc langurs live. You ride a motorbike driven by your guide and walk into some remote areas.
Watching the red-shanked douc langurs
During the breeding season you may see lively babies, and sometimes adults or the alpha male. Learn how to tell females from males and how to estimate their age, and you can even take part in real research by recording data on the monkeys you meet.
Forest wildlife and scenery
Meet forest creatures such as birds, colorful butterflies, plants and sometimes mongooses. Explore the mountain along jungle slopes and enjoy views of Monkey Mountain and hidden beaches.
Meeting local wildlife photographers
Along the way, chat with local wildlife photographers and see their photos to understand the monkeys better.
