What's this trip about?

    Vietnam is a country of colors. The gold of the temples, jade green of Halong Bay, yellow green of rice paddy fields and the multi coloured silks of the traditional 'Ao Dai' women's dress. The Mekong Delta is all rice paddy fields, coconut palms and sugar plantations being tended by farmers in conical shaped hats. Cruise the river delta, visit floating markets and stay overnight with a host family to see Vietnamese life up close. Cycle around the UNESCO listed Hoi An, soak up some rays on the beach in Nha Trang and cruise through some amazing limestone mountains of Halong Bay on a traditional junk boat. This is truly a country where East meets West, and this tour allows you to experience the very best that this amazing place has to offer.
