As a part of our “Stay For Good” program, based on the “For Good” framework of Banyan Group, our Bird Watching experience motivates guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Laguna Lang Co, nestled between the azure waters of the East Sea and The Annamite “Trường Sơn” Range – home to a variety of bird species.
Wander through the Resort’s tropical haven and learn about the 15 Signature Birds at Laguna Lang Co, a transformative travel experience that changes the way you see the world, not just for today but forever.
Complimentary for in-house guests.
(Bird Watching is subject to availability and weather conditions. For more information, please get in touch with our Reception Desk.)
At Laguna Lang Co, we believe in creating long-term value and making a meaningful impact on destinations and communities, driving sustainable development through our core value of “Embracing the Environment, Empowering People”.
Offering opportunities to watch the wild birds in their natural habitat, Bird Watching aims to reconnect everyone coming to Laguna Tree Lang Co with Mother Nature, and inspire our guests to be mindful of their surroundings, from the tiny birds flying over a swaying palm tree, the smell of green grass to the melodies of the singing-birds – all the little things happening around them that they would have missed as they were skimming in daily life.
With this Bird Watching tour, we hope to create a transformative travel experience that changes the way you see the world, not just for today but forever.
ENHANCING BIRD-WATCHING GUIDING SKILLS
Laguna Lăng Cô collaborated with Wild Life to host a training program on “Enhancing Bird-Watching Guiding Skills” for the resort’s Recreation team.
Experts from Wild Life provided extensive knowledge on bird identification and classification, essential regulations, techniques for attracting birds through sound, the proper use of binoculars, software for tracking and recording movement patterns, and hands-on field practice. These learnings strengthen the professionalism of our team—the “ambassadors” who help convey the message of biodiversity conservation to guests during their stay.
Alongside the training, Laguna Lăng Cô is conducting on-site surveys to collect data on the number, behavior, and habitat distribution of bird species within the resort grounds. The survey results will be used to design an optimal bird-watching route, offering guests an authentic and enriching nature experience.
Following this internal training, Laguna Lăng Cô will continue implementing programs aimed at raising awareness of environmental protection and biodiversity conservation within the local community. Only with collective effort can the beauty of nature be preserved sustainably.
