Vietnam Family Safari
16 days - from $2590
An ideal introduction to the best of the north and south
This active journey takes you off the beaten track in Vietnam. Starting in the capital, Hanoi, and finishing in bustling Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), this adventurous trip takes in the scenic highlights of both the north and the south. It gives you the chance to travel in beautiful hill country, visiting colourful minority groups and staying in a local home, a great learning experience and the best way for your family to interact with the friendly locals. The variety continues with a cruise around beautiful Halong Bay, stopping along the way to swim and kayak. In the middle of your journey you have time to unwind in the historic town of Hoi An, which has plenty of options for adults and children including a palm tree fringed beach, great shopping and fantastic local and western food. The safari continues as we fly up to the Central Highlands. Here you have the chance to explore the jungle on the back of an elephant and paddle a canoe around the picturesque Lak lake. We continue on the scenic overland route to Dalat, a former French colonial resort town, passing by coffee and tea plantations, before descending to Saigon, an electrifying experience. A great way to finish a memorable tour is with a visit to the underground tunnel network at Cu Chi. This is a trip that encompasses the main attractions and more, allowing you to get under the skin of this amazing country and its people.
