Bach Ma Nature Expedition

Summary:

Join us for an unforgettable full-day eco-adventure through the pristine landscapes of Bạch Mã National Park, Vietnam’s renowned highland park, known for its cool climate, rich biodiversity, and sweeping mountain views. Departing pre-dawn from either Hue, Da Nang or Hoi An, this immersive experience is designed for nature lovers, hikers, families, photographers, and curious travellers eager to explore the natural beauty and hidden wonders of Vietnam’s central highlands.

Begin your day with sunrise-lit waterfalls nestled deep in the forest, then stroll quiet trails under the guidance of expert naturalists. Along the way, you may encounter colourful butterflies, forest birds, and even hear the spectacular singing of Northern Yellow-cheeked Gibbons echoing through the trees. For those with a keen eye, there’s also a chance to spot specialties such as the Silver Pheasant or raptors such as Black Eagle soaring overhead.

Midday brings a traditional Vietnamese lunch and fresh local coffee, enjoyed beneath the towering canopy of Giant Fishtail Palms and Khasi Pines. As the afternoon light softens, take in panoramic views from the park’s summit before your descent through tranquil valleys and lush greenery.

Whether you’re drawn by wildlife, landscapes, or the peaceful rhythm of the forest, this full-day Bạch Mã tour promises an inspiring escape into one of Vietnam’s most captivating natural environments.

  • Depart from your accommodation around dawn for a full day
  • Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese bánh mì and freshly brewed coffee en route
