Vietnam Vacations

Vietnam offers a diverse range of experiences, from cruising the stunning limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay and exploring the ancient town of Hoi An, to vibrant street food scenes in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Don’t miss the terraced rice fields of Sapa, the historic Cu Chi tunnels, and the Mekong Delta’s floating markets.

Halong Bay remains one of Vietnam’s most iconic destinations and is often considered a must-see when visiting the country. However, its recent popularity means it can feel overcrowded, which may compromise the experience. Instead, we recommend cruising through Bai Tu Long Bay. As Halong’s sister bay, it offers equally spectacular limestone karsts, but with fewer people and less bustle.Usually accessed through high-end cruise operators, you’ll find smaller, more intimate vessels or even private charters, allowing you to explore the emerald waters and dramatic landscapes in a more peaceful setting.

Vietnam’s climate varies north to south, but generally, the best time to visit is from February to April or August to October when rainfall is lower and temperatures are more moderate.

To truly appreciate Vietnam’s rich diversity, a holiday of at least 10 to 14 days is ideal. This allows you to comfortably explore key regions. With this timeframe, you can balance city life, countryside adventures, and beach relaxation without feeling rushed, ensuring a more immersive and rewarding experience.

Vietnam’s extensive rail, bus, and domestic flight networks make it easy to travel between cities. Within towns, motorbikes, taxis, and cyclos (three-wheeled bikes) offer authentic local transport options.

The region’s waterways are the main routes, so boat travel is essential, so expect to spend time exploring floating markets, riverside villages, and lush rice paddies by boat. Some people are put off by the Mekong’s dark colour, as the river carries a lot of earth with it. However, it offers a very calming experience, serving as a lifeline to many locals and providing an incredible journey, with so much to see and learn along the way. Be mindful that facilities can be more basic outside major towns, so pack accordingly. The climate is hot and humid, so light, breathable clothing and sun protection are a must.
