NEW FOR 2011 Bike, Hike And Kayak Northern Vietnam 11 days
A compact itinerary that provides a real opportunity to interact and stay with Vietnam’s northern ethnic minorities. From the vibrant centre of Hanoi you will travel deep into the valleys of Mai Chau and the traditional stilted villages of the White Thai minority. Enjoy homestays with the Muong minority at Khanh Village and explore towering limestone karst scenery at Ninh Binh by bike, boat and on foot. The trip finishes at Halong Bay, where you can kayak, swim and relax in its turquoise waters.

Sapa Trek 7 days
Set in the cool mountains of the northwest, Sapa became a favourite amongst the French colonialists seeking to escape the heat of the lowlands. Sapa and the surrounding mountains are home to many ethnic minorities who provide true rural hospitality as you will trek through secluded trails and beautiful valleys with cascading rice terraces. The overnight train journey is an experience not to be missed, before you explore the hustle and bustle of the Old Quarter of Hanoi.
Price: £650 per person

FAMILY FRIENDLY ITINERARY Vietnam Family Explorer 13 days
Vietnam is perfectly suited for a family adventure as it is one of those few countries where children of all ages respond so spontaneously! You will spend your days wandering the markets of Ho Ch Minh City, sailing off the coast of Nha Trang, exploring the former seaport of Hoi An and taking time out along the endless stretches of beaches at Halong Bay… A multitude of experiences and a true adventure that will appeal to the interests of the entire family.

Vietnam By Bike 15 days
This amazing adventure starts at Halong Bay, before heading south to Hue and an everchanging landscape of tranquil highlands, palm fringed beaches and country roads that lead through mango and coconut groves. Beware though that, when stopping at wayside tea stalls, the villagers’ curiosity often translates into invitations to visit their homes! World Expeditions’ complete service includes comfortable geared cycles, a support crew and backup vehicle.
