Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Gain a real insight into local life with a daytrip to the Mekong Delta. Explore by boat and tuk-tuk and enjoy a home-cooked lunch with a friendly local family.
Visit Vun Art – a local organisation helping to empower people living with disabilities in Vietnam by providing vocational training and employment opportunities – and enjoy a hands-on art class to make your very own masterpiece to take home.
Visit UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay and spend a night on a boat on the serene waters, surrounded by limestone karsts jutting from the turquoise waters. You can even opt to take an early morning kayaking tour to see it all from a new perspective!
Relax on the calm shores of Hoi An’s most popular beach with a full day to chill out under the sun with the kids. Then, spend your free afternoon by the pool, the sea or hire a bike to see the city form two wheels.
See the very best that Vietnam has to offer in just 12 days as you traverse the country from bottom to top with a small group of new friends.
Is this trip right for you?
You and your family will visit a number of temples on this trip, and it's important to respect the local custom. Arms and knees should be covered. A light scarf is a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
Your overnight train journey from Hue to Hanoi (Day 7) is quite long. The upside is you'll wake up in a thrilling new destination and experience travelling like a local. While bedding is supplied, some families opt to bring their own sleep sheets.

Our third trip with intrepid and it was just magical. Single mum with 2 boys, 10 and 14, and everything was perfect. The group was fantastic, our guide was so caring and passionate. Vietnam is an amazing country and we loved every minute of our trip. We recommend

We elected to go to Vietnam to celebrate the end of secondary schooling for our eldest. The sounds, smells, sights and colours of Vietnam blew us away. We always felt safe and it was fabulous for our children to immerse themselves in another culture. Our tour guide, Thuy, was exceptional - kind, friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable.

This is my 5th tour with Interpid , and company truly sets a high standard in delivering exceptional travel experiences. Their commitment to quality shines through in every detail, especially in their selection of outstanding local guides who are not only passionate about their work but also deeply enjoy connecting with people. Each guide brought a unique depth of knowledge and a warm, engaging approach that made the journey unforgettable. What sets this company apart is its dedication to social responsibility. In Vietnam, it was especially inspiring to see their efforts in supporting individuals with disabilities by creating job opportunities for them. Such initiatives demonstrate the company’s genuine commitment to making a positive impact in the communities they serve. By giving back to local communities and championing sustainable tourism, they ensure that their influence extends far beyond the tours themselves. The only area for growth lies in adopting more environmentally friendly practices, such as partnering with vendors who use green hotels, electric boats, and buses. These steps would further enhance their sustainability efforts and align perfectly with their ethos of responsibility. Overall, this is a company that delivers excellence while championing meaningful values. Highly recommended for travelers seeking both quality and conscience in their adventures!

My family had a great time on the Family Comfort trip in Viet Nam. The kids had a blast with the other kids on the trip and it was nice to share the experience with others. It's a well developed trip, with good activities for kids, and multi-night stays in most hotels. Another great Intrepid trip.

Vietnam (Comfort) : I could not recommend this trip for families with young children more highly. The experience was sublime. Our leader, Dûc was the perfect guide, advisor and omnibus of everything that we saw. I highly encourage all to try this ‘Planes, trains and automobiles’ adventure across Vietnam. You’ll love it.

We did the Vietnam Comfort Family trip as a family of five (parents and three kids) which was wonderful! The itinerary was excellent, and was a great mix of included activities and time on our own. Our leader, Lily, looked after us so well and made sure everything ran smoothly. The kids had an absolute ball!

Thank you to Intrepid and our Leader, Trang for making our travels in Vietnam so amazing. After cleverly finding out the interests of the tour group at the start of our tour, Trang delivered the perfect mix of activities and optional extras for our diverse group. We left our tour much better informed about Vietnamese history and culture, wiser about the different ethnic groups in the country and have developed an absolute love affair with Vietnamese food and coffee.

This trip is amazing! I fully recommend! Minh was a great leader and had so much endless knowledge on everything. He was always there with shopping or restaurant recommendations and always made sure everyone was at top health and felt safe! He was also so organized, making sure taxis, busses, train arrivals were ontime and arranged for us. Never had any complaints with Minh! He most certainly was a responsible, honest, caring and friendly leader!!!!!! Thank you Minh!
