Our research-based Biology itinerary aims to take students from the classroom, out into the field, as they explore Hanoi’s ancient charm, before venturing into the heart of the jungle.
This tour provides students with the opportunity to analyze, categorise and evaluate insects from a jungle trek, and algae from the famous Halong Bay, and much more. Pay a visit to Cuc Phuong National Park and consider the relationship between insect life and primate life at the Endangered Primate Rescue Centre.

Day 1: Orientation Cycle Tour
Arrive and transfer to your accommodation. Once you are settled, it’s time to explore Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi. Take a short orientation tour of Hanoi by taking a cycle ride through the Old Quarter called 36 Ancient Streets. Get a good night’s sleep ready for an action-packed day tomorrow!
Day 2: Beating Sheets Installing and Endangered Primate Rescue Center
Wake up bright and early ready to transfer to Cuc Phuong National Park. Upon arrival, prepare to begin your first research activity. Today, you’ll install beating sheets under different types of trees, a method used to collect insects. Later, pay a visit to the Endangered Primate Rescue Center and discuss how insect life and primate life is related.
Day 3: Jungle Trekking and Insects Collecting
Get ready for a day full of adventure as you venture into the heart of the jungle. Today you will explore the park, embarking on a 7km soft loop trek to a one-thousand-year-old sequoia tree. As you trek, observe the way the jungle comes alive! In the afternoon you will collect the insects from your beating sheets. Analyse, categorise and evaluate your findings and keep a record of your fieldwork results.
Learning Outcomes
Fieldwork; experience scientific concepts learned in the classroom out in the field. A researcher versed in our subject of study will be accompanying the group.
Analyzing the effects of Tourism on Environmental Diversity; we will be testing insect and algae biodiversity in remote and popular zones to see the effects on human activity on the environment.
