Vietnam with Teens was an awesome experience that challenged the whole family to get outside our usual comfort zones and enjoy new experiences . It was well organised and fun, I would recommend it for families with older children who are seeking an active adventure.

The ‘family with teenager’ tour through northern Vietnam was very satisfying. Great balance of culture, adventure and friendship. Tour leader Tri Nguyen was outstandingly good and made us feel happy and safe. Thank you!

This trip was a brilliant experience for our girls on their first overseas adventure. The mixture of riding, food, new friends and amazing experiences was perfectly crafted. We’ve made memories our family will always carry with us.

Our family experience on this trip was amazing, with memories to cherish forever. We bonded with the other families and my kids had a blast. Dat was an awesome guide and the teens were so keen to participate. It was a rollercoaster ride of adventures, getting out of our comfort zones and being rewarded with such rich experiences. I highly recommend this trip, just do it!

I'm so glad I selected the Vietnam Family Holiday with Teenagers; we had a small group of 10 (3 families) and have made lasting friendships. The organisation and considerations by Intrepid to balance activities, downtime, engagement and free time has been well accomplished on this trip. Our guide was friendly, kind, engaging and helpful. Consideration for the local environment and people was obvious. Thank you for creating a family holiday for teenagers without theme parks!!!
