It’s a serene blend of wildlife observation and the enchanting mystery of Ba Bể’s nighttime landscape.

Your tour in detail

The tour begins at 19:30 from Mr Linh’s Ba Bể office, where guests gather for a short briefing on night birdwatching and safety, before being provided with binoculars and headlamps. Shortly after, the group boards a boat and sets out across the calm waters of Ba Bể Lake. The evening quiet is broken by the calls of owls and nightjars, while herons and kingfishers can sometimes be seen resting along the shoreline. Fireflies glow among the trees, creating a magical atmosphere as the boat glides through the darkness.

Around 20:15, the journey continues along the Leng River, a wilder and more secluded area where nocturnal life thrives. Here, guests may observe owls hunting, nightjars swooping low, and bats darting above the river surface. With some luck, civets or other small mammals may be spotted moving along the banks. The combination of bird calls, flowing water, and forest shadows makes this stretch of the trip especially enchanting.

At 21:00, the group pauses for a short tea break, either on board or at a quiet riverside stop, enjoying herbal tea while listening to the chorus of frogs and insects that fills the night air. The return journey begins soon after, retracing the route across the lake with continued birdwatching opportunities. As the forest gradually settles into stillness, the guide shares myths and folklore of the Tày and Dao people about owls and forest spirits, adding a cultural dimension to the natural experience.

By 22:00, the boat docks back at Mr Linh’s Ba Bể office, where the evening concludes with a recap of the bird species observed and a warm farewell. The tour leaves guests with an unforgettable impression of Ba Bể’s mysterious and vibrant night world.
