About this trip
This is a trip for people who'd rather move through a country than sit and watch it go by. Over 10 days you hike, cycle and kayak your way across Vietnam, covering ground on foot, on two wheels and on the water.
Between the activity you take in some of the country's cultural landmarks, from the Cu Chi Tunnels to the Emperor's Tomb, and spend a night at a local family's homestay for a more grounded look at daily life.
It's a moderate-activity trip built around variety rather than any one sport, so expect the pace and terrain to change often.
What you'll do
- Kayak among the limestone karsts of Halong Bay
- Trek through the Mai Chau area
- Cycle through small towns and villages
- Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels
- Visit the Emperor's Tomb
- Overnight at a local family's homestay
- Moderate activity level with regular hiking, cycling and kayaking, so a reasonable fitness level helps
- Days shift between different modes of travel rather than following one steady rhythm
