- 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.
- 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.

8. Tet is Vietnam's New Year festival, held annually in late January or early February based on the lunar calendar. While this can be a fascinating time to travel and experience this event, expect some shop closures and busier than usual local transport. Opening hours at some tourist sites may also be affected or closed. Although we make all reasonable efforts to avoid disruption, a flexible approach from the traveler is appreciated.
