Itinerary

Hanoi is the capital and second largest city in Vietnam. With heavily french-influenced architecture, Hanoi is a major city with 4 million people, but still has a small town feel inside the “old quarters.” Don’t forget about their famous 30 cent street beers - Bia Hoi...
This little gem in the north mountains of Vietnam will leave you speechless. Don’t forget your camera for this one, every inch of this place is a National Geographic front cover contender.
Included Experiences: A 2-day trek across the rice fields that line the mountain sides and spend a night in a local hill tribes village.
This stunning UNESCO World Heritage site is made up of pristine, emerald waters, 1,900 limestone peaks & offers some of the most amazing backdrops this planet has to offer! We will explore this majestic area for 3 days, with one night spent on one of the islands and the other spent aboard a boat.
Included Experiences: Booze Cruise, Kayaking, and Beach Parties
Only just discovered in 2005, and tourism only really starting in 2011, 70 kilometres from the town of Dong Hoi lies Paradise Cave (Dong Thien Duong,) a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Included Experiences: 2 Kilometre Trek up to and through the Paradise Cave
Hoi An is a quaint little town that gives a feeling of how Vietnam must have many, many years ago. With two beaches just a short bike ride away, the ancient quarters to wander around, 15 cent beers at the restaurant next door, an amazing free breakfast buffet, and a pool right in our hotel, this place just might be your favourite.
With beautiful beaches, buzzing nightlife and plenty of activities to choose from, Nha Trang is a hot spot for all travelers.
Included Experiences: a relaxing trip to the Mud Spa, and some much deserved beach time.
You’ll think you’ve landed yourself in the French Alps when you get to Da Lat! It’s a favorite vacation spot for many locals, and a nice relaxing break from the heat down by the beach.
Included Experiences: a Full Day Canyoning and Abseiling Trip
Ho Chi Minh, formerly known as Saigon, is the last stop on our epic adventure; with 7.5 million inhabitants this city is booming! Final group dinner and night out before flights depart the following day back home or onto your next adventure!
