Must do in Phu Quoc
One of the best tours I've ever done. Besides that they are very nice they have so much knowledge about all the animals we found. Also we had a veey good view on the slow Loris. An animal you can't find in many places. Besides that we found snakes, lizards, owls, scorpion and much more. I would recommend everyone to do this trip if you are interested in wild life!
Response from the operator: Dear Diede, Thank you so much for such a glowing review! Seeing the slow loris is always a magical moment, and we’re thrilled you got to spot it alongside the snakes, lizards, owls, and scorpions. Sharing our passion for Phu Quoc’s nocturnal wildlife with guests like you is what we love most. Thank you for recommending our night tour! Best regards, quangsi.net team

Fantastic jungle adventure
It was a great experience to walk through the forest in the dark and discover the nightlife. We have seen 5 species of snakes, amphibians, the lorise and so much more. Our guides told a lot about the rainforest and rode with us on the back of the motorcycle off road through the forest. I can recommend it to everyone!
Response from the operator: Hi Anna, Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige review! Wat fijn om te horen dat je zo hebt genoten van de nachtsafari en het ontdekken van het nachtleven in het bos. 5 verschillende slangensoorten, amfibieën én de lori spotten is absoluut een geslaagde tocht! Onze gidsen vonden het geweldig om hun passie voor het regenwoud en het off-road rijden met je te delen. Bedankt voor de warme aanbeveling en hopelijk tot een volgende keer!

This tops the chart for best adventure in Phu Quoc Island!!!
Si and Dan were professional and very knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. I went on a herping tour in the Phu Quoc National Park not knowing what to expect but I was quickly amazed by the diversity and rich habitats. This night we saw the barn owl, gliding squirrels, an oriental pied hornbill, a green cat snake, numbers of caramond pit vipers, and a whole bunch of cool frogs!!! I highly recommend anyone who loves bature and wildlife to give it a go in herping! This tops the chart for being the best activity in the island!
Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was an absolute pleasure having you out there with Dan and me. We had an amazing night. Hearing that this topped your chart for activities on Phu Quoc means the world to us. We hope to welcome you back for another wild night in the jungle someday! Best regards, Si

A brilliant night wildlife tour - highly recommended
A brilliant night wildlife tour with Si and Den, both passionate experts in the local wildlife with an incredible knack for spotting creatures - especially reptiles, but also a loris and a lot of spiders and insects. It was an amazing few hours with a lot of wildlife and lots of fascinating info. Very highly recommended
Response from the operator: We really appreciate the recommendation! Si and Den are incredibly passionate about our local ecosystem, so it’s wonderful to hear that their expertise shone through. Finding a variety of reptiles, insects, and even a loris in just a few hours makes for a very successful night! Thank you for choosing us for such a unique experience—we hope to see you again for another nocturnal adventure.

Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phu Quoc.
How much does Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife cost?
+
Prices start at $127 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phu Quoc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phu Quoc is not rushed.
Is Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phu Quoc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phu Quoc can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phu Quoc and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phu Quoc within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phu Quoc?
+
On Outty we rank every Phu Quoc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Phu Quoc Island with Hotel Pick Up, Ho Chi Minh City: Motorbike Street Food Tour with 12 Tastings, Land 4: Sightseeing to the South of Phu Quoc. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phu Quoc?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phu Quoc?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife?
+
Included: Bottled water; and Headlamps & backback. Not included: Greatly appreciated gratuity for your service team. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 326 listed pickup locations in and around Phu Quoc. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Jungle Night Herping Tour Discover Phu Quoc's Nocturnal Wildlife offered in?
+
