Vietnam unfolded

Trails, Taste & Timeless Charm

​

From buzzing streets to misty hills and lantern-lit towns, this journey brings Vietnam’s backpacking soul to life — with comfort, character, and just the right amount of edge.

​

Start in Hanoi, where food stalls and hidden cafés set the tone, then ride an overnight train to Sapa for easy treks through rice terraces and time with local hill tribes. In Hoi An, cycle the countryside, paddle through coconut groves, and learn to grill Vietnamese BBQ at a local’s home.

​

End the journey in energetic Ho Chi Minh City, where rooftop cafés, street art, and stories from the past round out a trip full of connection, culture, and curiosity.

​
