Adventure Holidays in Vietnam

Overview

With white-sand beaches on its coast and a fascinating history and culture, there aren’t many countries where one day you could be trekking through lush jungle on the hunt for the largest cave on earth, and the next be sampling the famous street food of Hanoi. That is the beauty of Vietnam.

With iconic rivers, floating villages, relaxing and authentic rural villages, watching the sun set over distant mountains, Vietnam is just waiting for you. Wildlife as diverse as it comes, some of the most delicious cuisine in the world, these are just a couple of reasons that Vietnam is a destination not for the average tourist.

Our local host Thao has been working in Vietnam for over 10 years and is an expert in providing unique holidays that will stick with you. With us you’ll be supporting the local communities in Vietnam, minimising the effects of tourism leakage.

    What our travellers are saying...

    I am glad we did this tour. It was lovely to meet local people, share their home and their stories and of course try their delicious food.

    Bridgette

    From start to finish, this company went above and beyond to make sure this was a truly unforgettable trip. All of the staff were friendly and helpful when booking the tour and as soon as we met Mr Linh, we knew we had chosen the right company! Our trip to Ba Be was a definite highlight of my time in Vietnam. As well as seeing all of the main attractions, which really are breathtaking we also enjoyed getting off the beaten track and experiencing s

    Lauren

    We spent 6 days on the Highlights and Hidden Gems of Halong Bay and Ba Be tour with our guide Mr David Long and our driver Mr Nam. We were a bit apprehensive to begin with as we are usually independent travellers however we absolutely loved the experience for its authenticity, flexibility and accessibility to areas and people we would not normally have had access to. This is a tour company offering exceptional service right from the beginning of

    Best Time to Visit Vietnam

    General

    High season: July & August

    July and August are the busiest months in Vietnam, especially along the coast, leading to a 50% increase in prices. It is essential to book the trip well ahead of time. The weather throughout the country, except the far north, is hot, humid, and occasionally interrupted by impressive summer monsoon downpours.

    Shoulder season: December-March

    Vietnam’s winter is drier than the summer, but it also brings colder temperatures with highs just above 20℃. The northern regions can be chilly, while the far south enjoys clear skies and sunny days. For those who love a big city, the shoulder season is an enjoyable time to visit Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, although check for any festivals that might raise prices.

    Low season: April-June and September-November

    Vietnam’s low season occurs during the transitional periods from winter to summer and summer to winter. This time offers varying weather, with the possibility of splendid sunny days and occasional rain. It’s an excellent opportunity for travellers seeking to avoid tourist crowds or those planning to tour the entire country.

    Unmissable Highlights in Vietnam

    What the guidebooks don’t tell you

    Be open-minded – Some people still associate Vietnam with the war. Many first-time visitors are even still surprised when they visit and see a vibrant, peaceful community. Just be aware that the local people have moved on, and that they welcome everyone and expect respect in return.

    Don’t forget to smile! – Vietnamese people are lovely, but might not always stop and help confused looking foreigners. So if you ask a local a question, do it with a smile, you’ll have your question answered and the smile returned.

    Learn a few words – Even basic phrases like “cảm ơn” (thank you) or “xin chào” (hello) go a long way. Vietnamese people appreciate the effort to engage with their language, even if your pronunciation isn’t perfect. It shows respect for their culture and often leads to warmer interactions.
