Our Vietnam family vacations & tours

There is so much to enjoy on our Vietnam family vacations – water puppet theatres, laid-back islands and friendly local communities. Cycling, kayaking, hiking and snorkelling will keep teenagers entertained, and there is an excellent balance of culture and nature, chaos and tranquillity. Our family vacations in Vietnam use locally-run accommodation, like a homestay in the Mekong Delta, and visit cottage industries along the way, to give you vivid, vibrant Vietnam in all its glory, in a way that benefits local communities.

Vietnam family vacation highlights

The fluid, s-shape of Vietnam supplies a natural route from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with overnight trains and domestic flights providing travel options for families to keep cultural contrasts coming thick and fast, and young adventurers excited and eager for more. Vietnam yearns to be appreciated and deserves to be, too. Poverty and the Vietnam War can be tough for little kids to comprehend but older children, teens, will learn about the world, warts and all, as well as enjoying the chance to make new friends as part of a small group tour or interact with local children as part of a homestay experience. If travel broadens the mind, family vacations in Vietnam fill in the gaps, with Nha Trang, the Mekong Delta and the limestone landscapes of Halong Bay, all playing their part in memorable moments to be shared as a team or coveted as secret treasures.

Tailor made

Tailor made vacations allow for more freedom of choice and include detailed trip notes to complement an itinerary that’s been chosen to meet your budget and preferences. Tailor made means young children (under five) can come too rather than sticking to a minimum age limit, as per small groups, and flexible itineraries can be created to include child-specific activities and ‘down time’. Although tour leaders won’t accompany tailor made groups, English-speaking tour guides will be on hand to help you in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and the historic cities of Hue and Hoi An. Finally, free days can be built into tailor made trips alongside chances to stay a little longer in one place and a choice of accommodation.

Small group

If you fancy traveling in Vietnam with other families who have children of a similar age, small group vacations (no more than 20 people per group, three to five families) are ideal. Small groups also include a tour leader throughout so you don’t have to worry about tickets, languages and travel times, and your family can enjoy being together, on the same level. Travel will often feature traditional junk boats, three-wheeled cycle rickshaws (cyclos), private minibuses, overnight sleeper trains from Hanoi to Danang, and the occasional domestic flight. The majority of hotel accommodation will be en suite, with a basic swimming pool, or in a traditional guesthouse or even staying with a local family, in their own home.

Go on a family vacation in Vietnam if....

... you don’t mind one or two lengthy bus or train rides and the thought of your family kayaking, cycling or spending a night on a traditional ‘junk’ boat doesn’t fill you with fear.
... your family can handle a stroll around an ancient walled city or floating market before enjoying the peace of a pagoda on a lake or respectfully visiting a Buddhist temple.
... you’re happy to stay in accommodation that’s small and locally owned and you’re not afraid to go without mod cons if it means having an authentic homestay experience.)

Best time to go

Southern Vietnam is consistently warm (above 30°C) all year, with brief daily downpours in May-Nov offering refreshing respite from humidity but little consequence to travel plans. Autumn, Christmas and Easter vacations (Oct-Apr) find the central coast lashed by colder monsoon rains, although Oct-Mar is the best time to go on a family vacation in Vietnam if you’re heading for Hanoi and Halong Bay. In general, Vietnam is drier in winter and wetter and hotter during the summer. Tet celebrations in Jan-Feb all but bring things to a standstill, although they can be good fun if you’re happy to join in.

Fantastic way to visit Vietnam with the family, to have a great experience and really feel looked after. We loved Hoi An and all the different boat trips. Cycling in Hanoi was great too! So many highlights. Our guide Trang was superb and really made the trip special for all of us. She looked after us all, helped us cross the crazy roads (!) and added so many little extras to make our experience so memorable.read more
