Vietnam is perfectly suited for a family adventure. Children have few inhibitions and quickly break through cultural and language barriers, particularly in Indochina where children are highly revered. Our family adventures have been specially designed for the needs of youngsters - minimizing long journeys and plenty of time on beaches and among wildlife.

Journey together from Hanoi to the magical forest of Cuc Phuong where we stay in forest bungalows; discover the world heritage site of Halong Bay aboard a traditional junk; explore the charming UNESCO-designated World Heritage town of Hoi An and its nearby beaches and end in the modern metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City. On this forest & beach adventure, the whole family is certain to be entertained by the people, history, color and culture. What better education is there, than the education of understanding and discovery!
