The Oxalis Business Principles
1. Premier Products
Our mission is to create a premier adventure tourism business in Viet Nam, starting with the pristine wilderness of Quang Binh (now Quang Tri Province), then expanding to Cat Tien National Park, Dong Nai City, and other destinations in the future. We provide professional, high-quality tourism experiences to both local and international travelers while ensuring that our growth directly fuels the local economy, protects ecosystems, and sets the gold standard for industry operations.
2. Uncompromising Safety
Oxalis Adventure operates deep within remote jungles and caves, where safety is our absolute priority. We manage risk by strictly limiting group sizes, ensuring individual attention and optimal control at all times. Every explorer and staff member is equipped with premium gear sourced from world-class manufacturers like Petzl, Beal, and Hope Technology, all meticulously maintained to rigorous European safety standards.
For high-level expeditions, our dedicated safety teams deploy advanced technical support, including lifelines, harnesses, and belays. Depending on the difficulty of the trek, each group is accompanied by a tailored support team of cave experts, guides, safety assistants, and porters. To ensure flawless execution, our entire field crew is trained and regularly audited by Cave Experts from The British Vietnam Caving Expedition Team.
3. Environmental Conservation
A true adventure tour is about experiencing wild nature while preserving its pristine state. Conservation is a core responsibility directly integrated into every activity. Explorers must strictly adhere to mapped routes to protect ancient stalactite formations. No permanent structures are built, all waste is removed from the caves, and advanced composting facilities are used to maintain the purity of the surrounding land and water sources.
This conservation mission extends to the National Park rangers, guides, porters, and tourists alike, all working together to protect the environment and ensure each trip adheres to the highest conservation standards. Backed by rigorous and periodic environmental impact assessment reports, all our activities are continuously monitored to preserve the ecosystem where we operate.
4. Community Involvement
Community involvement in tourism is a core business strategy of Oxalis, not merely a corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity. Local partners are an integral part of our operations and a driving force behind Oxalis' success. We prioritize hiring local personnel in all areas - including guides, operations managers, porters, and restaurant/hotel staff - because their deep local knowledge enriches the visitor experience. Furthermore, Oxalis creates opportunities for local people to own and operate the services they provide to visitors, such as homestay experiences and dining experiences.
5. Transparency
Trust is built on transparency, which is why Oxalis operates with absolute financial and regulatory openness. We maintain strict compliance with all Vietnamese laws, paying 100% of our required taxes, social insurance, and environmental fees. Furthermore, to guarantee total financial accountability to our partners, stakeholders, and customers, all Oxalis financial statements are independently audited by top-tier global firms, including PwC.
Whether you prefer long treks, camping in a cave, sleeping under the stars in the jungle, swimming underground in river caves, explore the huge dry caves or just taking an exploratory day trip, Oxalis Adventure Tours can provide the right amount of adventure just for you.
