Hai, a true local of Phong Nha, has always been deeply connected to the forests and the animals that live within them. In 2008, he joined an international conservation project in collaboration with the Cologne Zoo (Germany), working directly with the National Park on one of Vietnam’s earliest wildlife rescue initiatives. Hai wasn’t just part of the team—he was one of the key individuals who helped establish the Phong Nha–Kẻ Bàng Wildlife Rescue Center, now one of the largest and most successful in Vietnam.

For five years, Hai helped supervise and run the center, rescuing animals from illegal trade, wildlife meat restaurants, and traditional medicine markets. In 2013, when the project ended after a decade, he knew his mission wasn’t over. That passion for protecting wildlife stayed with him, and it led to something new.

Hai turned to tourism—not for profit alone, but as a bridge between conservation and community. He created this tour to connect like-minded travelers with the reality of wildlife protection in Vietnam, far beyond tourist traps. This is a tour for nature lovers, for those who want to understand, support, and be inspired by real efforts happening deep within the jungle.
