Our Premier Guides & Tour Leaders
We take immense pride in our world-class team of tour leaders, not just for their exceptional field skills on our wildlife tours, but for their dedication to the craft, their camaraderie, and their constant drive to grow and be the best they can be. All our team members are local experts and fully-trained, professional guides for our Vietnam birding tours. You won’t find them relying on Google Maps or missing bird calls — they know the terrain, the species, and even your camera settings.
What truly sets the Next Continent team apart is our commitment to growth. Every team member, regardless of experience, takes part in weekly training, bi-monthly field research, and continuous professional development. We also operate a rigorous trainee program, mentoring passionate young nature enthusiasts into fully qualified guides through hands-on learning and expert mentorship.
And if you need one more reason, our industry-leading 86% return or referral rate for nature and wildlife tours speaks for itself — our guests think they’re the best, too.
Behind the Scenes: Our Office Team
A successful guiding company needs a great support team, and we’re proud to have one of the very best! Our multilingual office staff are trained naturalists who’ve experienced every one of our wildlife tours firsthand. Available seven days a week, they’re ready to assist with everything from designing custom-made tour itineraries to tracking down a last-minute lens or advising on the best time to spot a Ruby-eyed Green Pitviper in Cát Tiên National Park.
Our team is primarily based in our new headquarters in Da Nang, Vietnam, though we have pop-up offices across the country. Proficient in organizing complex arrangements for group wildlife adventures in remote areas, our office staff ensures your inquiries are handled with friendly expertise. Our seamless online booking platform ensures booking your wildlife tours with us is a pleasure, and we strive to meet all your requirements before, during, and after your wildlife adventures.
Unmatched Tour Value and Pricing
Next Continent prides itself on offering unparalleled value in the regions we operate. Our prices and booking for our wildlife tours are designed to deliver exceptional experiences rather than just the lowest costs. While we may not always be the least expensive option (though often we are!), you can rest assured that our wildlife adventures are the very best value for your money.
With Next Continent, you benefit from full office support, expert guides on our wildlife tours, and exclusive access to areas and experiences not typically offered by budget or international operators. We prioritize quality, ensuring every nature & wildlife tour exceeds your expectations in both value and experience.
Wildlife Watching Ethics
At Next Continent, we apply rigorous, field-tested methods on all our wildlife tours to ensure that wildlife and ecosystems remain undisturbed and protected. While approaches to interacting with nature may differ, we prioritize ethical wildlife watching and responsible engagement. For first-time visitors, it’s important to recognize that not all companies follow ethical standards — we encourage guests to ask questions and choose organizations that share their values. Through responsible tourism, we proudly advocate for wildlife conservation, healthy ecosystems, and respect for local cultures.

Health & Safety Commitment
Your safety is always our top priority. All our guides and field staff receive rigorous first aid training and carry essential safety equipment — a vital standard in the remote environments we explore on our wildlife adventures. Every guest on our nature and wildlife tours is also protected by comprehensive insurance, a level of care still rare among tour companies in the region.
While the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, we continue to follow up-to-date safety measures to protect our guests, guides, and the communities we work with. Our policies remain flexible and responsive, and we encourage you to contact us before your wildlife adventures for the latest information.
We believe health and safety should never be optional. When comparing tour companies, ask about their safety coverage — and if they can’t provide a copy of their policy, we strongly recommend choosing one that can.
