Departure point: Hotels in Danang, Vietnam
End point: Return to original pick-up point

🕚 08:00 - Pick-up & scenic drive along Sơn Trà ridge road
     🚙 The road winds along cliffs overlooking the emerald-blue sea. As you ascend, your guide shares the history of Sơn Trà - from wartime lookout point to biodiversity hotspot with over 1,000 species.

🕚 08:45 - Conservation Jungle Walk (1.5-2 hours)
     🌳 Led by a forest ranger, you follow narrow trails shaded by ancient tropical trees.
     🐒 Along the way, you may spot:
          🔸 the striking red-shanked douc langur
          🔸 black squirrels jumping across branches
          🔸 sunbirds and hornbills
          🔸 wild orchids growing along mossy trunks
     🚫 Your ranger explains the constant threats faced by wildlife: poaching, habitat loss, and invasive species - and how local communities are fighting back.

🕚 11:00 - Picnic Lunch at a Cliffside Viewpoint
     🌊 Enjoy a simple Vietnamese picnic with million-dollar views over Da Nang Bay.
     🏞️ The combination of fresh air, jungle breeze, and ocean below is unforgettable.

🕚 12:30 - Hands-on Marine Debris Sorting Workshop (Scientific Activity)
     ♻️ With a team of young conservation volunteers, you spend time sorting waste previously collected from the coastline.
     👩‍🦱 This scientific approach helps track:
          🔹 types of plastic
          🔹 origins of debris
          🔹 seasonal waste patterns
          🔹 microplastics levels
     📁 Data from these workshops is submitted to environmental NGOs and helps shape local policy.
     🌍 Guests love understanding “where the trash comes from” - because most of it floats in from regional ocean currents, not from Da Nang itself.

🕚 14:00 - Visit a Storm-Affected Fishing Hamlet
     👨‍👩‍👧 Meet families whose homes stand just meters from the sea.
     🎎 Their stories reflect the resilience of Vietnam’s coastal communities:
          📍 boats destroyed during typhoons
          📍 nets lost in rough seas
          📍 income interrupted for weeks
          📍 children still walking to school despite difficult conditions
     🧰 You’ll deliver small, carefully selected support kits (rice, noodles, cooking oil, school stationery).

🕚 15:00 - Return to Hotel
     ❤️ A tour that stays with you long after you leave Da Nang.

✅ Please read the information carefully before booking the tour.
