Sightseeing by cyclo, bicycle and kayak
Magical boat rides around scenic Halong Bay, the South China Sea and floating markets in the Mekong Delta
Sample and cook delicious local food
Crawl through the Cu Chi war tunnels

From the spectacular limestone seascape of Halong Bay to the frenetic streets of Saigon, Vietnam is a country full of interest and surprises. The cities are an assault on all the senses: noisy, colourful, aromatic and totally absorbing. We tour Hanoi by cyclo and see an unforgettable water puppet show. We have quieter time also, snorkelling at Nha Trang, exploring the fascinating Mekong Delta by boat and cycling past vibrant green paddy fields near Hoi An. We also have the chance to enjoy the superb Vietnamese cuisine and practise our chopstick skills (try the fried scorpion if you dare!).
