0

For those who LOVE the great outdoors, street food, beach, culture and big city vibes, look no further than this out-of-this-world Vietnam Family Adventure. This action-packed itinerary showcases the best of Vietnam’s stunning landscape masterfully infused with a blend of adventure, culture and relaxation perfect for the active family or honeymooners seeking something beyond the ordinary.

Starting in the north, we touchdown in Vietnam’s charming capital of tree-lined boulevards and French colonial-era architecture. Visit the city’s famous landmarks while discovering its local scene – everything from wet markets to coffee shops to street food stalls that are ingrained in every Hanoian. Next, feast your eyes and soul on a scenic adventure to Ninh Binh with landscapes seemingly coming out of a water painting where selfies here will surely light up your Instagram. Continue with a relaxing cruise of UNESCO Halong Bay onboard your own junk. Swim, kayak and enjoy a cocktail or smoothie amid the bay’s emerald waters and spectacular karst towers.

Next, journey on the road (or river) less traveled to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage Site featured in the Hollywood blockbuster hit “Kong: Skull Island” famed for its ginormous cave system, vast underground river network and fantastic biodiversity. Traveling with a small group of like-minded travelers, embark on an eco-adventure boasting an array of uncommon activities such as mountain trekking, zip-lining, caving, swimming in underground rivers, and camping while fully immersing in Mother Nature. This is an adventure you will never forget. 

After a few days in the wild, we return to civilization jouneying south to Hue. While this small city is known for its Imperial Citadel where Vietnam’s royal family once resides, it is equally famous for its local cuisine. During our short stay en-route to the beach, we’ll get a chance to experience both. Then, it’s time for some much-needed R&R in one of Southeast Asia’s most charming cities – Hoi An, a beautiful seaside town of unsurpassed charm nestled in central Vietnam blessed with a combination of tranquil rivers, cobblestone alleyways, eclectic shophouses and quaint open-air restaurants. We’ll enjoy some relaxation on the beach plus an exhilarating ride around the surrounding countryside on an electric scooter.

Last and certainly not least, we round out your Vietnam adventure in Ho Chi Minh City, one of Asia’s hottest spots and a world city that boasts a harmonious mix of modernity and tradition, and a plethora of dining and entertainment options. Here, we’ll show you the city’s delectable food scene as well as some back alleys little known to the typical forest.

From mountains to sea, rice paddies to skyscrapers, awe-inspiring cave explorations to tantalizing street food hunts. They’re all here. Your unforgettable Vietnam adventure awaits.
