PróximamenteReptiles, Rainforests & Real Impact: Vietnam Eco-Adventure
Step into a week of nature, conservation, and slow-life living in Vietnam. This immersive experience is hosted at a sustainable eco-retreat where travelers reconnect with nature, support local conservation projects, and learn firsthand how communities protect Vietnam’s unique wildlife and landscapes. Led by Adam Wickens (@wickenswickedreptiles) — reptile educator, wildlife storyteller, and adventure creator — this trip blends hands-on environmental work, mind-clearing nature time, and ethical cultural experiences that support the local community. Spend your days helping with reforestation projects, learning about native reptiles and amphibians, exploring lush trails, visiting local villages, and contributing to the retreat’s ongoing sustainability efforts. Evenings are for hammock time, sunsets, campfires, deep conversations, and the kind of off-the-grid peace you can’t find anywhere else. If you’ve been looking for a trip that combines purpose, adventure, wildlife education, and real impact, this Vietnam Eco Retreat was built for you.

PróximamenteNature & Storytelling Photography Group Trip to Vietman
Travel with Anique, a 26-year-old wildlife photographer from the Netherlands with a bachelor’s in Creative Business. Her photography has been featured by BBC Earth and Africa Geographic. During lockdown, she picked up my first camera and fell in love with wildlife photography. This eventually led her to volunteering in South Africa—a life-changing experience that led to the role as Wildlife Photography Coordinator, teaching others about photography, editing, and storytelling. Now, after two years she calls South Africa home, exploring private game reserves and leading wildlife tours across the world.My goal is to show people the beauty of the world in a meaningful way. Travel and explore with Anique in MAY 2026

Everyone was very welcoming. I was there when it was raining a lot restricting our ability to go photograph and they let me stay an extra 3 days for free to make sure I had the time to finish my presentation

During the past 2 weeks I have learned so much about culture, environment and professional skills in the filming field. From how to prepare a script to tell a story to the colours you integrate to make the story vivid. The experience is 100% worth it if you are responsible and disciplined, they will help you if you need any assistance in preparing but the creativity is up to you. If you have time I recommend staying there a month to grasp every detail that is possible. The facilities are very clean and comfortable, and the friends I did during the volunteering I will preserve for life ❤️

VEN is truly a great way for beginner as well as advanced photographers to connect with nature, learn about Vietnamese culture from local hosts, as well as make friends with fellow international volunteers. Highlights of the experience include exploring Son Tra peninsula to see monkeys as well as learning how to operate the fantastic camera equipment and preparing a presentation to display your work.

I spent a week with the wildlife photography program. Although it's a short period to develop a project, the team took care to adapt it well to the time I had available and helped me with everything I needed. The association's workers are lovely, and it's an opportunity to interact with locals and participate with an association that promotes nature conservation through photography and filmmaking. It's a very new project, so I think they're still refining some aspects of the program, but they're doing their best to ensure volunteers have a great experience. Thank you for this week!

The VEN team was really passionate about nature and videography. They were also very nice to me. The food is really good and cool to share with other volunteers, you are also free to eat alone. Sometimes it's hard to share the room with many people though. I sometimes felt like no one was listening to me and to what I wanted to do for my film. I had to be actor in it while I didn't really want to. I don't blame the VEN team because they are new at this program, but I just think the price was a bit too much compared to my experience.. I'm glad I got to discover Da nang on my own , thank you

I really enjoyed my stay at the home and working with VEN🫶They have changed the program after having their first short term volunteers before me, so this time around I was allowed to film myself, with help from the staff, in the end I made my own documentary - so that was really cool! Everyone in the team works hard and are good at listening to your thoughts and concerns if you have anything. They are still figuring things out, so I recommend this program if you are ready for a great experience but also to keep you schedule free because plans are often last minute/changing
