Cat Ba Langur Watching Tour - A Commitment to Nature
Please email us for more details as this tour is specially designed for those with a strong commitment to nature and conservation.
Why Cat Ba Langur Watching tour is Special
The Cat Ba langur (Trachypithecus poliocephalus) is a critically endangered primate listed among "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates." Sadly, its population has declined by a staggering 80% over the past three generations. Today, there are fewer than 70 of these langurs left in the world.
In response to this crisis, the Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project was initiated in November 2000 by Münster Zoo and ZSCSP (Zoological Society for the Conservation of Species and Populations). Despite being declared a National Park in 1986, the langur's distribution range continued to witness poaching and population decline. As of 2006, around 30% of the population existed outside the National Park.
The conservation efforts saw significant measures being taken. Cat Ba National Park was expanded to encompass the entire Cat Ba langur population, and Special Protection Zones were established to provide the most stringent protection available under Vietnamese law.
A strictly protected sanctuary, located on the eastern coast of Cat Ba Island within the National Park, now supports approximately 40% of the remaining population. This area is rigorously monitored, with fixed boundaries, prohibition signs, increased ranger presence, and vigilant control over caves and hunter trails.
By the end of 2001, poaching of the Cat Ba Langur had ceased. Since the commencement of conservation efforts, nine langurs have been born, and only three have succumbed to natural causes. Today, the greatest hope for the Cat Ba Langur's survival lies in the conservation of its limestone habitats.

Vietnam Primates Watching Tour: A Journey Beyond the Ordinary
Vietnam, a country renowned for its rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes, has yet another treasure hidden within its dense forests and misty mountains - its diverse and unique primate species. For those with a penchant for wildlife and a thirst for adventure, our meticulously crafted 14-day Vietnam Primates Watching Tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve deep into the heart of Vietnam's primate kingdom.
The Primate Spotlight
Primates, often considered our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, have always fascinated humans. Their complex behaviors, expressive faces, and intricate social structures offer a mirror to our own evolutionary past. Vietnam, in particular, is a hotspot for primate diversity, with several species that are found nowhere else on Earth. This tour is designed to shine a spotlight on these incredible creatures, offering travelers a chance to observe them in their natural habitats, understand their behaviors, and learn about the conservation efforts in place to protect them.
The Golden-headed Langur of Cat Ba, with its striking appearance and critically endangered status, is one of the many highlights of this journey. Found only on Cat Ba Island, these langurs are a testament to the unique evolutionary paths that isolated populations can take. Observing them in the wild, with their golden manes glowing in the sun, is a sight that stays with you long after the journey ends.
The Delacour's Langur, with its distinctive "white pants", offers another unforgettable wildlife experience. Found only in the north-central part of Vietnam, these langurs are a symbol of the country's rich biodiversity. Their playful antics and curious nature make them a favorite among travelers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
But the primate wonders don't end there. The Red Shanked Douc, with its vibrant colors and graceful movements, is often referred to as the "queen of primates". The dense forests of PNKB National Park and Da Nang provide the perfect backdrop to observe these stunning creatures. The park is also home to several other primate species, including the Ha Tinh Langur, various species of Macaques, and the elusive Slow Loris.
Beyond Primates: A Holistic Experience
While primates are the main focus of this tour, the journey offers so much more. The landscapes of Vietnam, from the limestone cliffs of Van Long Nature Reserve to the coastal beauty of Da Nang and the highland charm of Da Lat, provide a constantly changing backdrop to this adventure. Each destination has been carefully selected not just for its primate populations, but also for its natural beauty, cultural significance, and the unique experiences it offers.
Travelers will have the opportunity to interact with local communities, understand their way of life, and learn about the intricate balance between humans and wildlife. Workshops on primate photography, cultural performances, traditional storytelling sessions, and interactions with conservationists add depth to the journey, making it a holistic experience.
Conservation at the Core
At the heart of this tour is a strong emphasis on conservation. With several of Vietnam's primate species facing threats from habitat loss, hunting, and climate change, there's an urgent need for conservation efforts. This tour aims to raise awareness about these challenges and highlight the efforts being made to address them. A portion of the tour's proceeds goes directly to local conservation initiatives, ensuring that travelers are directly contributing to the protection of the species they come to see.
In Conclusion
The Vietnam Primates Watching Tour is not just a holiday; it's an immersive experience that offers a deep dive into the world of primates. It's a journey of discovery, learning, and connection. Whether you're a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, a budding naturalist, or someone looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure, this tour promises memories that will last a lifetime.

When is the best-time for this tour and why?
The optimal time for Vietnam's Primate Watching Tour is the dry season, spanning from November to April. This period promises cooler temperatures, minimal rainfall, and clearer skies, ensuring comfortable treks and unhindered access to national parks. Moreover, primates, such as the Golden-headed Langur, are notably more active during these months, enhancing daytime sighting opportunities. The drier conditions also mean fewer mosquitoes, reducing the risk of insect-borne diseases. Additionally, this timeframe coincides with several Vietnamese cultural festivals, offering travelers a chance to immerse themselves in local traditions. While Vietnam's biodiversity ensures a rewarding experience throughout the year, the dry season, especially from November to April, is particularly favorable for primate enthusiasts.
