The entire group of 12 people had diarrhoea during the holiday. Also it was clear that firstcomers had paid the full price (having been told by Exodus that they only needed 4 people to make the trip viable) that while late bookers and those booking through Trailfinders paid a substantial discount!
Halong Bay
Halong Bay Trips
Halong Bay, a World Heritage site where giant limestone peaks rise from emerald waters, is perhaps the star attraction in Vietnam. The name means ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’, and legend has is that a dragon came down from the sky, spraying a thousand pearls into the water. From those pearls grew the staggering limestone pinnacles and crags of the bay, creating a natural fortress to protect Vietnam. Many visitors join Halong Bay tours to sail among the islands in Chinese-style junk boats, gliding across the waters under dragon-fin sails and sleeping the night on board. Come sunset, everyone can gather on deck for a sundowner, while morning offers the opportunity for a spot of yoga in a peaceful, magnificent setting.

Antonia Muir Vietnam & Angkor – Premium Adventure
Margaret Jean Flanagan Cycling VietnamThis is a busy fast paced trip that covers Vietnam from bottom to top. My husband and I loved the journey. The cycling was fabulous though challenging at times with the heat and humidity. The morning starts are early, and the day quickly fills with many “xin chaos” from the children and the sights, sounds and smells of a vibrant country that is undergoing rapid change. If you are looking for physical activity, jungle scenery and have an interest in the history of Vietnam this may be the adventure for you.
It was a pleasure to meet our fellow travelers and as Canadians we found the British accents exotic to our ears! The group worked well together and there was always a sense of camaraderie and team support.
