Vietnam Getaway Overview

As the former imperial capital of Vietnam, Hue holds the treasures of Vietnam's royal past and is a curious mix of bustling streets and tranquil settings.

Weave through quaint towns en route to Quang Dien, a peaceful village renowned for its stunning architecture, sublime surrounds and friendly locals. Jump on a bike and cycle through the town. Drop in at the village school, and head to a vegetable field to meet a local farmer and learn about the sustainable farming practices so crucial to the community. Work up an appetite by helping out with farm tasks, before sharing a traditional lunch of seafood and vegetables with a local family. Fully fuelled, it’s time to hit the water with a sampan cruise on Tam Giang Lagoon. Help fishermen haul up their catch, get a lesson in how to throw a fish net, and try your luck in the lagoon. After an activity-packed morning, relax on the white sands of Quang Dien Wild beach or invigorate the senses with a dip its clear waters. Alternatively head inland to the hot springs near Thuan An beach.

With lantern-lit streets, vibrant markets, skilled tailors, artisan shops, ancient houses, colourful temples and beautiful smiles, Hoi An is a Vietnamese wonderland.

Take to the streets and waterways on a unique boat and bike tour. Pass emerald rice paddies, snaking waterways and plenty of waving children while discovering some of the most beautiful landscapes in this region. On a small island in the middle of the Thu Bon River, settle in to watch the sun set over bobbing fishing boats while feasting on barbecued local specialities. With full bellies, return to Hoi An where this Vietnam Getaway ends.
