Vietnam family holiday
A place where cultural exploration and outdoor adventures can be combined with relaxation.
Vietnam is an exciting and rewarding destination for families, with just the right mix of adventure, culture, and comfort. It’s easy to get around, packed with memorable experiences, and offers something to suit every age – from energetic teens to curious younger kids (and their parents).
What we love about Vietnam for family travel is how hands-on and engaging it is. In the north, families can take a cyclo tour through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, try a water puppet show, or learn to make fresh spring rolls in a cooking class. A cruise in Halong Bay is always a hit – kayaking between limestone karsts or simply relaxing on deck as the scenery drifts by.
Central Vietnam is home to the charming town of Hoi An, a great base for families. Here you can cycle through rice paddies, take a lantern-making workshop, or enjoy a laid-back beach day. It’s also a good spot for gentle cultural immersion, with street food markets and easy access to historic sites.
Down south, the Mekong Delta offers something completely different – think boat trips through coconut groves, local craft visits, and floating markets. For downtime at the end, Vietnam has plenty of family-friendly beach resorts in places like Da Nang and Phu Quoc.
From a practical point of view, the food is fantastic and easy to enjoy even with fussy eaters, the internal flights are reliable, and the hotels are well set up for families. Overall, Vietnam works brilliantly for those looking to experience Asia without feeling overwhelmed – it’s lively, safe, and full of moments your family will remember for years.
