Vietnam & Cambodia family vacation, 2 weeks

Planet

We believe in keeping beautiful places beautiful. Throughout Vietnam and Cambodia, you’ll stay in small-scale, characterful places that sit naturally within their surroundings. These are chosen for their lower-impact approach, local ownership and connection to the landscapes and communities around them. Our partners in both countries work actively to reduce environmental impact, encouraging recycling, careful water use and mindful energy consumption, while continually looking for ways to make their operations greener.
Your journey is designed with a lighter footprint in mind. Where possible, shared transport is used instead of multiple private vehicles, and in places like Ninh Binh you explore by bike, while towns such as Hoi An and parts of Hanoi are best discovered on foot. Traveling this way not only reduces impact but also helps you experience each place at a more natural pace.
Before you travel, we provide practical guidance on how to explore responsibly, from simple ways to reduce waste and conserve water to advice on avoiding animal exploitation and choosing ethical wildlife experiences.
Back in the UK, we aim to practise what we stand for. Our Brighton-based team works from a B-Corp-certified office, operates largely paper-free and partners with Earthly to support nature-based projects that remove carbon, restore biodiversity and protect the natural environments that make journeys like this possible. A small contribution is included in every itinerary to help support these initiatives.

People

We believe in putting people first, and a big part of that in Vietnam and Cambodia is bringing you closer to everyday life through genuine local connections. On this itinerary, that means looking beyond the main sights and understanding the rhythm of daily life in the places you pass through. You’ll meet people along the way who share their knowledge, stories and perspectives, helping you see each destination as more than just a stop on a map.

Throughout the trip, there are natural opportunities to connect with local communities in a respectful way. Whether it’s conversations with your guide about life in their home region or time spent in smaller towns and rural areas, these moments offer a deeper insight into local culture, traditions and ways of living.

We work with local Vietnamese and Cambodian guides and small-scale operators who know their regions inside out and are paid fairly for their work. Their expertise adds depth to your experience while ensuring tourism income goes directly to the people who live and work here. By choosing locally run services, more of the money you spend stays within the community.

Our local partners are based in-country and share our long-term commitment to responsible travel. They employ local staff on fair terms and work closely with communities, helping ensure tourism plays a positive role in supporting livelihoods and strengthening local economies in both Vietnam and Cambodia.
