Where the Forest Floats, the Honey Hunt Begins.

Imagine entering a forest where the ground disappears beneath the water.

Thousands of trees rise from a green carpet of floating vegetation. Narrow wooden boats glide silently through flooded forests, and somewhere deep within this wilderness, wild bees build their enormous honeycombs.

Welcome to Vietnam.

This time, Nature’s Shadow is taking you into two extraordinary landscapes of southern Vietnam.

U Minh Hạ — The Forest of Wild Honey

Deep inside the Melaleuca forests, generations of local honey hunters have practised gác kèo ong — a traditional method of inviting wild giant honeybees to build their combs on specially positioned wooden supports.

We aim to meet these honey hunters, witness their traditions and experience the wild honey harvest firsthand.

Trà Sư — The Floating Green Forest

A breathtaking flooded forest where narrow boats travel beneath towering trees and across waterways covered in brilliant green vegetation.

Here, we will explore the remarkable ecosystem and the relationship between forests, flowers, bees and the people who live alongside them.

Your Virtual Honey Hunt

You don't have to travel thousands of kilometres or enter the wilderness yourself.

We will take you along on our journey.

Follow the expedition, discover the forests, meet local honey hunters and experience the realities of searching for wild honey.

Our goal is to bring you genuine forest honey from the expedition, subject to a successful harvest and availability.

No staged hunting. No manufactured adventure. Just nature, its people and their extraordinary traditions.
