There’s a bit of everything for those who enjoy a certain degree of adventure without going crazy… A full day trek. Two half days of biking in the countryside. City tours. Kayaking, We saw most of the country- from Sapa in the north to Ho CHi Mingh City in the south. They should have included a day in the Mekong Delta (I added it on with another company. We used every form of transportation imaginable- bus, train, cable car, rickshaw, bike, car, plane… name it. Some of the bus rides were long and not particularly comfortable. I didn’t mind the overnight train ride and slept for a few hours. The homestay in Sapa wasn’t really a homestay. It was a very primitive bed nd breakfast. A real homestay means living with a family for the night. The caves of Phong Nga were impressive. Ho An is a gem and we had some needed free time there. The bike rides were lovely. The trekking was fun but tiring. I would strongly recommend it.
Mekong Delta
Mekong Delta Trips
The Mekong Delta is a fertile web of canals and rivers interspersed by villages and towns. Life here revolves around the waterways: daily floating markets bring people together to buy and sell fish, fruit, vegetables and anything else that can be peddled.
Many of our small-group adventures to Vietnam include Mekong Delta trips. Board a boat to experience the waterways up close, passing orchards and interacting with the welcoming local people who ply their trade in various cottage industries, such as rice paper and coconut candy. Also enjoy Delta hospitality with a night in a guesthouse, sleeping by the waters and trying the local specialities.
Mekong Delta Adventure Holidays
Craig Dicker Hidden Vietnam: Sapa & Beyond
Michael Crook Southeast Asia ExplorerA fantastic way to experience Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in one trip. The itinerary offered a brilliant mix of bustling cities, rural life, incredible food, beautiful scenery and some truly remarkable historical sites. From the Mekong Delta to the temples of Angkor and the energy of Bangkok, there was something different around every corner. Some of the history was sobering and difficult to take in, but it was an important part of understanding the countries we were visiting. A great group, wonderful local experiences and so much packed into two weeks. Highly recommended.
