About this trip
Twenty-one days across Vietnam and Cambodia, moving from the energy of Hanoi to the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, down through beaches and islands, and on to the temples of Angkor.
Along the way there's kayaking, crab fishing with local fishermen, a cooking class, and time to snorkel and unwind on the coast, alongside the history and culture that tie the two countries together.
You travel as a small group with a guide throughout, so it's a sociable way to cover a lot of ground without organising the logistics yourself.
What you'll do
- Explore Hanoi's old quarter
- Cruise and kayak around Ha Long Bay
- Go crab fishing with traditional fishermen
- Take a local cooking class
- Snorkel around tropical islands and relax on the beaches
- Visit the temples of Angkor Wat
- Rated easy, so it suits most fitness levels
- Covers a lot of distance across two countries in three weeks, so expect regular travel days
Worth it if you want knowledgeable, sociable guides who double as friends and excellent logistical planners. Think twice if you need constant structure—the itinerary balances activities with downtime intentionally.
- Guide quality is exceptional: Bobby, Phatty, and Liam consistently earned praise for deep cultural knowledge, warmth, and genuine friendship with the group.
- Trip pacing hits the sweet spot: mix of major cities, remote nature, and coastal locations, with deliberate downtime built in to recharge between activities.
- Guides actively organised optional evening activities and side trips, turning free time into extra adventures rather than leaving you to figure it out.
- Some reviewers suggested adding Hanoi Train Street and Hands Bridge to the core itinerary—worth checking if these are must-sees for you.
