Vietnam tours by activity

Vietnam Culinary Tours
Vietnamese cuisine has a reputation for its piquant, savory flavors — unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else in the world. Take a cooking class to learn some of the secret ingredients. These are typically led by restaurant chefs or experienced home cooks. Homestays are great opportunities to take a cooking class with local cooks.

Vietnam Historic Tours
Vietnam’s history is one of rebuilding. See what they’ve managed to preserve over the many years of war, and what they’ve reconstructed from the rubble. In cities like Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ninh Binh you can see ancient Buddhist sites. Places like Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum offer the government-sanctioned perspective on the past century of conflict.

Vietnam Museum Tours
Tour Vietnam’s museums to get closer to the country’s history and culture. There are museums that give you a detailed look at the Vietnamese War, as well as the history of colonial powers. You can also find museums dedicated to showcasing native art and handicrafts.

Vietnam Kayaking Tours
Go kayaking and paddle yourself to get up-close looks at karst formations and jungle scenery. Tours around Halong Bay often stop to give visitors a chance to kayak around some of the karsts and limestone cliffs. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park has rivers leading through the jungles to traditional villages and gorgeous caves. Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore secluded spots, like the small islands that make up An Thoi Islands.

Vietnam Biking Tours
On a biking tour, you can cover lots of ground in a national park or take in the scenery on the way to attractions in smaller, beachside cities like Hoi An. Many homestays have bikes you can borrow for self-guided tours around islands in the Mekong Delta.

Vietnam Cave Exploration Tours
Vietnam has some of the world’s most impressive caves. Limestone caves surround the shores of Halong Bay and the Ninh Binh waterways. Deep in the Phong Nha-Khe Bang National Park, you can follow a guide into the recesses of Son Doong Cave, the world’s largest cave. Smaller but just as lovely are the caves of Phong Nha and Paradise Cave.

Vietnam Hiking Tours
Hiking into the jungles and caves of Vietnam’s mystical landscapes. Some of the country’s most impressive landscapes are subterranean. Lace up your hiking boots and follow guides through jungles and up the slopes of misty mountains.

Vietnam Boat Tours
Much of Vietnam is best to explore via boat. Boat tours give you the chance to visit the Mekong Delta's floating markets. When you visit the Mekong, travel between islands on a long boat. Sail up the Perfume River from Hue on a boat painted to look like a dragon.

Vietnam Snorkeling Tours
Snorkeling is a fun way to explore Vietnam’s islands. Cham Island and An Thoi offer some of the country’s best snorkeling destinations. Paddle around the clear water to get a good look at tropical fish.
