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.

Fantastic tour with an excellent guide and great group of people. Saw many things that we may never have seen without a tour (especially with children) and learnt a lot about the culture and the history of Vietnam. Would thoroughly recommend!

Wonderful trip. It just woks. No hassle. No drama. Our family did 11 days in Vietnam on a Family Comfort Tour. We had a wonderful time. Great experiences. The Intrepid team handled all of the up front organisation perfectly. Our tour guide, Tu Vu, was absolutely exceptional. He choreographed all of the challenging ‘on the ground! elements of the trip seamlessly. Tu’s wonderful guidance brought Vietnam to life for our family.

We had a wonderful trip to Vietnam with Intrepid. It was our first time joining an organized tour as a family, so it was a new experience for us — and we definitely didn’t regret it. Vietnam itself was amazing. We loved the food, the scenery, the culture, and the history. Traveling as a family felt easy, with good infrastructure like internet access, money exchange, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies readily available. Intrepid offers a really great tour program. The 12-day journey from south to north was very well planned, with a nice mix of activities and free time in every place we visited. We had time to explore, relax, or do our own things. The absolute highlight was the overnight boat trip in Ha Long Bay. We had a boat just for our group, and by then everyone knew each other well. We shared a wonderful evening together, and the kids especially loved it. Our guide, Lucky, was fantastic. He was always proactive, taking care of activities, hotels, and restaurants, and he adapted quickly whenever plans needed adjusting. His knowledge of Vietnamese history and local life helped us really understand the country and its people. His recommendations for optional activities and restaurants during our free time were invaluable. Thank you, Lucky! Overall, this was an amazing experience and a very special family vacation that we will always remember. We would absolutely love to do another trip like this again.

Our family holiday in Vietnam with Intrepid was an unforgettable experience. Great fun from start to finish, with a wonderful group and a fantastic mix of transport—from trains to boats and buses. Everything felt well organised, engaging, and adventurous. We would happily do it again.

This trip was a joy to be on. It is a great mix of adventure, relaxation, and education. I feel like I didn't just "see" Vietnam, experienced it the way that it should be experienced and I appreciated that the trip was stress free thanks to our amazing group leader, Thanh.
