Vietnam 2 week tour for under 30's

Planet

During the homestay experience in the Mekong Delta, travelers will be able to learn more about local building traditions and materials. The buildings that travelers stay in are made by locals from locally-sourced materials including bamboo, clay tiles and coconut products.

Travelers will also spend a night in a homestay near Phong Nha National Park. Our hosts have joined forces with us in the fight against single use plastics. Where possible they are no longer using single use plastic items like straws, bags and bottles. Our hosts also have a small rainwater collection system, which they use for watering vegetable gardens and household cleaning. They’re as keen to preserve their gorgeous region of Vietnam as we are.

We use local transport where it is safe, reliable and feasible to do so, and when this is not feasible, we use private, locally owned transport instead. We always ensure our vehicles/fleets are well maintained and fuel-efficient. This trip also includes three overnight train journeys, giving travelers an opportunity to travel like the locals do. Whilst it’s an efficient way to maximise time and sightseeing in Vietnam, we also like to include trains as a way to reduce the carbon produced by our passengers.

People

Nha Trang has become an internationally popular beachside destination. This has brought with it rapid development and the dilution of local Vietnamese culture. In response to this, we will now be visiting Tuy Hoa instead. Tuy Hoa has beautiful beaches and surrounding natural areas, which travelers will share with just a handful of others. We are working with local hotels and restaurants on ways to maintain their culture and preserve their environment. Our local suppliers in Tuy Hoa are looking forward to welcoming more travelers to their sunny pocket of Vietnam.

Our local leaders provide travelers with a Vietnamese language survival guide when they join this trip. Words and phrases are listed phonetically as well as in English and Vietnamese. The leader runs through this list to help travelers become more confident with commonly used words and phrases. Travelers are able to be polite and friendly in their interactions with locals, using greetings like please and thank you to show their respect.
