Vietnam Intro — 9 Day

Vietnam Intro is a brilliant way to ease into the colour, chaos and character of Vietnam. You’ll kick things off in Hanoi, where the streets buzz with scooters, street-food stalls and the smell of fresh pho drifting through the air, before heading out to the calm limestone seascapes of Ha Long Bay. It’s the kind of trip that gives you a proper feel for the country straight away — lively cities, peaceful waters and plenty of moments that make you stop and take it all in.

Along the way, you’ll kayak between towering karst cliffs, go crab fishing with local fishermen, and learn how to cook a few Vietnamese favourites yourself. With a friendly Group Leader with you from arrival, you’ll have someone to smooth the way, share the good local knowledge and help bring the group together from day one. It’s a social, easy-going adventure that packs in the highlights without feeling rushed — and with every tour 100% carbon neutral, you can travel with a lighter footprint. If Vietnam’s been on your radar, this is the perfect place to start.

Know before you go: - Your Group Leader will be there from the moment you arrive, so keep your flight details handy and be ready to meet on arrival. - Pack light, breathable clothing for Vietnam’s warm, humid climate, plus comfortable shoes for walking around Hanoi. - Bring swimwear, a towel and quick-dry gear if you want to make the most of the water activities in Ha Long Bay. - A reusable water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent and a small daypack will come in handy throughout the trip. - Check your visa requirements before travelling, as entry rules can vary depending on your passport. - This tour is a social group experience, so a flexible attitude and a friendly vibe will go a long way.
