From the remote Northern Highlands to the vast Mekong Delta, Vietnam is a biodiverse country. Travelers who are passionate about wildlife, nature, and outdoor exploration will find Vietnam’s abundant flora and fauna to be endless sources of curiosity.

Vietnam’s fertile Mekong Delta is home to a dazzling variety of plants, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. The country's 2,100-mile (3,400 km) coastline and offshore islands are a hotbed of marine life, home to many turtle species, coral, barracuda, sting rays, tropical fish, and dugong.

A Vietnam wildlife vacation would not be complete without visits to Ha Long Bay and surrounding regions. Tropical ecosystems, such as mangroves and rainforests, can be seen in the towering limestone pillars covered by lush greenery. Here, you can find tiny islets with caves that are perfect for exploring. The bay is also home to many rare species of flora and fauna. This phenomenon is due to the bay's isolation from the mainland, which keeps its environment untouched and wild, as well as thousands of years of natural history.

UNESCO-recognized Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park is famous for its incredible caverns, and research teams continue to explore its hundreds of caves. Explore Paradise Cave -- one of the largest caverns in Asia. Diverse flora also thrives in the park including centuries- old evergreens.
