Visit Us in Cat Tien National Park

A unique chance to see our primate reintroduction work first hand.

The tour runs daily at 8am from Cat Tien Tourism Office. The tour lasts around 2.5 hrs, with an English or Vietnamese speaking guide.

This tour is the perfect way to see how we are working to rehabilitate rescued primates, ready for release back into the wild.

Highlights of the tour

Boat ride to Dao Tien island (if you’re really lucky you may even see some of our released black-shanked douc that live nearby!)

Watch gibbons swinging in the trees and practicing their skills, from our purpose built viewing platform.

See primates in the rehabilitation centre, and learn about how we prepare rescued primates for release.

 

All money generated from this tour goes back to Dao Tien, thus providing a sustainable way to fund our primate conservation work

School Visits

We are delighted to welcome school groups to our centre, and can include a presentation (about our work and the conservation of primates) to school groups at no extra cost. Please note that this MUST be booked in advance directly with Dao Tien well in advance of your visit.

Please contact us on enquiries@go-east.org to discuss your groups’ requirements.

Please note:

For the welfare of our primates, tours to Dao Tien are limited to 30 per session (=60 per day across one morning and one afternoon session). For educational groups one free adult is allowed per 10 children. Any additional adults must pay full price.
