Cuc Phuong National Park’s wildlife night tour is open from 7 to 10 p.m. every day of the week, traveling by electric car. The tours span about an hour, with the last tour starting at 8:45 p.m.

The tour begins with the experience and creativity zone for kids, where visitors then follow guides through trails to explore the nightlife of the forest and animals such as deer and insects. Visitors also learn about rescue programs and forest conservation. To make ensure the tour does not affect creatures’ natural habitat, 100 visitors are allowed in per session, and they can only visit certain areas in the forest.

Situated in the southwest of Hanoi and across the three provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa, Cuc Phuong was the first national park in Vietnam, and is characterized by its tropical rainforest.
