Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
verified
Stay in a local’s home in the Mekong Delta – the ‘rice bowl of Vietnam’ – and visit local villages, learning about the way of life here.
verified
Wander the coloured buildings, heritage-listed streets and bustling markets of Hoi An, then spend a day chilling out at the local palm-fringed beach.
verified
Spend a night aboard a traditional junk boat on the waters of UNESCO World Heritage sits Ha Long Bay. Sleep under the stars after a delicious dinner, then in the morning, maybe opt to go kayaking for a different perspective of the limestone peaks.
verified
Take a cyclo tour of Hue for the best introduction to this central Vietnam city and explore the ancient temples dotted around with a knowledgeable local leader by your side.
verified
Dine at KOTO in Hanoi, where you and your family will not only feast on delicious northern specialties but also support an excellent cause that helps connect street kids with careers in hospitality.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
You and your family will visit a number of temples on this trip, and it's important to respect the local custom. Arms and knees should be covered. A light scarf is a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
verified
There will be shared facilities at your Mekong Delta homestay (Day 11), however, the lack of creature comforts will be a small price to pay for such an authentic local experience.
verified
Your overnight train journey from Hanoi to Hue (Day 4) is quite long. The upside is you'll wake up in a thrilling new destination and experience travelling like a local. While bedding is supplied some families opt to bring their own sleep sheets.

Itinerary
Explore Vietnam’s cultural treasures and natural landscapes with the family
With delicious food, scenic natural sites and lots of friendly locals to teach you about the diverse culture, the whole family will fall in love with Vietnam on this 13-day trip. Sail through the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay, watch a water puppet show after exploring the Old Quarter of Hanoi and learn about rich emperors in Hue on a cyclo tour. Wander the colourful heritage buildings of Hoi An, then hit the beach to chill under palm trees (maybe even take a dip in the Vietnam East Sea!). Make paper flowers with an organisation that supports the local deaf community and enjoy a special dining experience at KOTO restaurant, an organisation that supports disadvantaged youth. This is Vietnam!

We had an extremely enjoyable and positive experience with Intrepid and our tour guide. We felt safe, relaxed and informed whilst travelling with our children. I won’t hesitate in recommending the Intrepid Family Tour.

We had a fantastic trip to Vietnam on the family tour. Our leader, Nhung, made the trip what it was. We saw so many fabulous places, ate great food and learnt so much from Nhung. My son really bonded with her, which was fantastic, as it turned out we were the only travellers on our tour. That could have been a disaster, given that we booked with Intrepid to be with a group, but Nhung more than made up for it with her enthusiasm, kindness and fun. Vietnam is amazing and the itinery is great. Would highly recommend it.

We travelled Vietnam with a 5, 9 & 11 year old with intrepid and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The kids and us had a sensational time. Everything was taken care of for us and our eyes were opened to the amazing Vietnam.

More than anything, I would like to recommend our leader who ensured at all times that this was one of the best holidays we have ever enjoyed. I cannot speak more highly of him. Our itinerary and activities along the way were perfectly suited to our family's expectations; always relaxed and safe.

We have just returned from a 13 day trip from Vietnam with Intrepid. We had a fantastic time. Our trip was made so much better by our fantastic tour guide Toan. He was so organised and ensured our holiday went smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We would travel with Intrepid again.

Absolutely amazing 2 weeks spent in Vietnam with our two children (10 and 6 years). Could not fault anything about the trip. We all had
an amazing time made truly special by a fantastic guide (Win) and a really great group. If you book this trip try and request Win - he made this trip what it was! Only think I would say is do not book this trip if you want to relax for 2 weeks! The itinerary was packed full of amazing experiences and we did all of the optional ones as well!
