Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Gain a real insight into local life with a daytrip to the Mekong Delta. Explore by boat and tuk-tuk and enjoy a home-cooked lunch with a friendly local family.
Visit Vun Art – a local organisation helping to empower people living with disabilities in Vietnam by providing vocational training and employment opportunities – and enjoy a hands-on art class to make your very own masterpiece to take home.
Visit UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay and spend a night on a boat on the serene waters, surrounded by limestone karsts jutting from the turquoise waters. You can even opt to take an early morning kayaking tour to see it all from a new perspective!
Relax on the calm shores of Hoi An’s most popular beach with a full day to chill out under the sun with the kids. Then, spend your free afternoon by the pool, the sea or hire a bike to see the city form two wheels.
See the very best that Vietnam has to offer in just 12 days as you traverse the country from bottom to top with a small group of new friends.
Is this trip right for you?
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.
Your overnight train journey from Hue to Hanoi (Day 7) 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.

With 12 days to adventure from the exciting chaos of Ho Chi Minh to the towering limestone karsts of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay, you and the kids will get all the highlights of diverse Vietnam in one neat package.

The 12 day Intrepid Family Comfort tour of Vietnam was a great introduction to travelling in Asia for our family of 5. It was a wonderful mix of history, sight seeing and much much delicious food. Our guide Thanh made the trip for us, not only did he have amazing knowledge and organisation skills, he took amazing care to organise food that was safe for our sensitive coeliac daughter where ever we went. It was worth the price of the trip just for that as it allowed my husband and I to relax a little and enjoy our own experience. We would definitely travel with Intrepid again for the convenience, ethics and local insights, and we would definitely return to Vietnam - an amazing place.

We had an incredible family trip to Vietnam with Intrepid. The itinerary was fun and well-paced, with amazing sights. Our guide, Tu, was fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and great with kids. It was especially wonderful having other children on the trip. My daughter loved making new friends and sharing the adventure together!
