Red-shanked Douc Langur: Full-Day Expedition

Join Next Continent for our specialist full-day Red-shanked Douc Langur tours exploring the spectacular Son Tra Peninsula. Led by our team of expert wildlife and natural history guides, you’ll go beyond the tourist hotspots and into the peninsula’s quiet forest roads, hidden valleys, and remote viewpoints, where wildlife encounters are at their very best.

Your day begins with complimentary hotel pick-up in Da Nang in your private 7-seater vehicle with driver. After heading into the mountains, we’ll stop to pick up a delicious Vietnamese breakfast. Our team is equipped with a spotting scope and binoculars on request, and you’ll spend the day searching for multiple family groups of Red-shanked Douc Langurs, maximising your chances of prolonged and high-quality encounters. With plenty of time on your side, you’ll be able to observe natural behaviours, learn about local conservation efforts, and enjoy exceptional photographic opportunities in beautiful forest settings.

One of the biggest highlights of choosing our full-day option is not just the increased chance of multiple Red-shanked Douc Langur encounters, but also the opportunity to connect with a much broader range of Son Tra’s wildlife and biodiversity. The peninsula has recorded over 200 bird species and is home to a wide variety of mammals including other primates, squirrels, bats, reptiles, frogs, and countless tropical butterflies and other invertebrates. Notable species include Green-billed Malkoha, Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush, Puff-throated Babbler, Thick-billed Green Pigeon, Green-eared Barbet, Oriental Honey Buzzard, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Laced Woodpecker, and Indochinese Blue Flycatcher, with hundreds of migrant passerines and birds of prey also possible throughout the year.

Lunch is included before continuing through the afternoon and into sunset, allowing flexibility to access additional habitats, visit lesser-known locations, and make the most of changing light conditions, particularly during the golden hour. Whether you’re a passionate wildlife photographer, keen wildlife watcher, or simply someone seeking an authentic nature experience away from the crowds, this immersive full-day tour offers the ultimate opportunity to experience the wild heart of Son Tra Peninsula.
