Traveler Reviews
Had a great solo adventure for a full day to Cat Tien National Park. Ride was smooth like silk. Saw gibbons and a black shank langur as well as the animals in the rehab facility. Beautiful butterflies and magnificent trees like those of the Ents in lord of the rings. Would recommend and would do it again.
Our tour with Eddie was wonderful thanks to his kindness, expertise, and friendliness. The visit to Cat Tien National Park, cycling and hiking through the jungle, was beautiful. If possible, I would recommend at least a two-day tour like he suggested; we didn't have enough time. Highly recommended, thanks Eddie!!
This is a very positive experience, the park is beautiful, and Oliver was phenomenal. He's a knowledgeable guide who showed me many interesting things about the park, including plants and animals. We even managed to catch a glimpse of the elusive gibbons. I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and if you get Oliver as your guide, you'll be very lucky.
We booked the Cat Tien Park Jungle Trip (Option 2) and had an amazing experience. Our guide Oliver was super relaxed, easy-going, and made the whole trip very enjoyable. Everything was well organized, and we really appreciated his knowledge and the chilled atmosphere he created throughout the tour. Definitely recommend this trip if you want to explore the jungle in a fun and relaxed way!
Our guide, Eddie, was outstanding—friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He created an immediate connection with us and made the entire day enjoyable. His insights into the park’s ecosystems, animal species, their habitats, behaviors, and conservation status were impressive and added so much value to our visit. Although the original cacao farm visit fell through, the team handled it professionally and quickly arranged a visit to Stone Hill Farm instead. It turned out to be a fantastic alternative. We learned about every step of cacao farming and chocolate production, and even got to try so
Our guide Eddie was very nice, helpful and funny, so we enjoyed every moment of the programme. During our 3 weeks in Vietnam Eddie was the best tour guide we ever had :) We also wanted to visit the rescued animals, but unfortunately we didn't get there in time. We expected to see more animals than we had on the jungle tour in Thailand. But this was more of a forest visit. We see some wildlife on our way (flying lizard, jungle cat, deer). Our friend had an accident before the trip, broke her leg, had surgery and was not fully recovered. We wanted to replace the cycling part with something else.
Meget venlig guide, som talte godt engelsk. Han forsøgte at tilpasse turen til vores ønsker og tog hensyn til min datter, som var sløj. Chauffør og bil var også i top.
Eddie war ein sehr sympathischer und umsichtiger Guide.
Am besten war die Radtour durch den Nationalpark und die verschiedenen tollen Spots. Die uralten riesigen Bäume waren beeindruckend. Außerdem sahen wir viele verschiedene Tiere (wilde Affen, Krokodile und sogar eine Schlange). Eddie, unser Reiseführer, war bestens vorbereitet, super nett und erklärte uns den gesamten Park. Die Tour war anstrengender als erwartet (das Radfahren und Wandern), aber uns hat es viel Spaß gemacht! Wir würden wieder kommen :)
