Real stories and photos from international and Vietnamese travelers.
Ma Pi Leng Pass & Nho Que River, Ha Giang“Four days riding through Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Ma Pi Leng Pass with our Hmong road captain Minh was the undisputed highlight of our trip to Asia. The bike maintenance was spot-on, the homestays in Dong Van and Du Gia were warm and authentic, and boating through Tu San Canyon at dawn felt completely surreal.”
Tu Lan River Cave Expedition, Quang Binh“Swimming with headlamps through subterranean rivers inside Tu Lan and Hang Ken while our safety team set up jungle camp by a waterfall is an experience I will never forget. The porter and expedition crew in Quang Binh ran a world-class safety operation from start to finish.”
Hoi An Ancient Town & Central Coast“From early morning sampans in Ninh Binh before the crowds arrived to evening street food walks in Saigon, every day had an unhurried rhythm, boutique hotels in walkable neighborhoods, and zero shopping stops.”
Lan Ha Bay Karst Lagoon & Cat Ba Island“Traveling as a multi-generational family of 6, we were amazed by how attentively the Hanoi concierge and Lan Ha Bay ship chef prepared fresh vegetarian meals for our parents while the kids kayaked hidden lagoons.”
