Itinerary
DAY 1 - SAIGON
Your family vacation to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia begins in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) with a bike-powered rickshaw tour, including the Presidential Palace. For cool contrasts, local guide Mai will take you to lunch in an awesome French villa, then down into the Cu Chi Tunnels where thousands of Viet Cong lived during the war. Your hotel (1 night) is considered one of the best in the world!
DAYS 2-3 - DANANG
Heading out into the countryside, see rows of farmers tending rice paddies. After a long-tail boat ride on the Mekong River, hop onto bikes for an easy, guided ride into the delta to visit a fish farm and a dragon fruit orchard. A late-day flight lands you at the spectac...
DAYS 4-5 - HANOI
In Hanoi, stay at the city’s most elegant hotel which also happens to have a great pool area (2 nights) and spend your days exploring colorful pagodas, meeting the students at a tiny village school, and catching a water puppetry performance. While the kids head of with their own guide, adults enjoy dinner at the legendary Press Club.
DAY 6 - HALONG BAY
Halong Bay is called the 8th Wonder of the World. You’ll agree when we board our luxury junk for an overnight cruise through the spectacular islands to visit a floating village, go sea kayaking, and get a lesson in Vietnamese cooking. Next morning, there’s time to explore a cave or loll on deck before our flight to Laos.
DAYS 7-8 - LUANG PRABANG
In Luang Prabang (2 nights), you’ll join guide Toubee to see the town’s great night market. Early the next day, he’ll be sure you see the silent daily ritual of barefoot monks walking the streets to collect alms. You’ll also get to try your hand as a mahout—an elephant trainer—on a visit to 2,000-acre sanctuary, followed by a longtail boat ride back to our hotel.
DAYS 9-10 - SIEM REAP
For the grande finale, make the short hop to Siem Reap in Cambodia (1 night). You’ll pay multiple visits to the amazing temples at Angkor. Your new friend Roath leads the way on guided visits with chances to see how different these archeological wonders look at sunset an...
