Family vacation?  First of all, nice job!  You could have followed the beaten path in your own country.  But you choose to give your children an inspiring, eye-opening experience, introducing them to more of the world.  But a great trip traveling with smaller children means smart planning.  We’ll help you design more time at each location, with activities that small children will enjoy while also unique to Vietnam’s culture (nothing is worse than taking your kids halfway around the world only to be met with “can we go now?”, or for you to think “we could have done this at home”).  We specialize in Vietnam family tours.  Our long experience with lodging choices means we the best hotels that offer you the most support to make your vacation with small children easier.

​These are a few itineraries that our clients with children have told us at Sao La Tours they really enjoyed:

Vietnam is a place whose beauty shows up in many different ways.  You can spend 2 weeks full of adventure across many destinations, or two weeks lounging on beaches with drinks at the pool across only 2 or 3 locations, and both people will come back saying Vietnam was “exactly what I expected!”  We can take you to the isolated islands of Ninh Van Bay, Con Dao, and Koh Rong (Cambodia), the best beaches on Nha Trang or Phu Quoc, the romantic countryside village of Dalat, or overnight cruises on the UNESCO heritage site of Ha Long Bay.  We can arrange for private cooking classes, romantic dinners on the beach, spa treatments, with little touches to make your time special and relaxing. Looking for Vietnam luxury tours or a Vietnam honeymoon?

​Choose 5-star resorts in Nha Trang or Con Dao or humble rooms, depending on your style of travel and budget.  Trang will talk with you to learn what type of style of vacation you like, what comfort level you prefer, how much pampering you like, how fast or slow paced you want to go, then make suggestions and build you a custom itinerary just for you.  We hope you will send us photos your romantic memories.

Here are our most popular Vietnam Honeymoon itinerary ideas:

Is your idea of a vacation in Vietnam trekking down picturesque mountains through fields of rice paddies in Sapa, staying in local villages at a homestay, snorkeling or diving, visiting off-the-beaten-path remote hill tribe villages in Ha Giang, perhaps a 6 hour boat ride up the Mekong river on an express boat?  Vietnam is not known for adrenaline adventure, but rather immersing yourself in its natural features.  We’ll take you up close and personal with that beauty—which might mean slipping ankle deep in a rice paddy, coming back with cornstalk scrapes, being wet and exhausted at the end of a day, and wearing through your hiking shoes.  But the rewards are amazing views of Vietnam’s rugged and beautiful countryside, wandering through local villages that largely retain their primitiveness, meeting and talking with local hill tribes, experiencing life in rural Vietnam. And a memory card full of priceless, once in a lifetime photos!  Tell us what your idea of adventure is and we’ll suggest and help you choose both popular and unique destinations:

The rich diversity of Vietnam’s wildlife includes over 300 species of mammals, 290 reptiles, 160 amphibians, 700 freshwater fish, 2000 marine fish, and over 850 species of birds.  We’ll take you to one or more national parks (Cat Tien in the South, Cuc Phuong in the North, Bach Ma & Phong Nha in the center of Vietnam) and more remote areas (Tonle Sap lake, kulen mountains, Kratie, tram chim, Tra Su, Gao Rong) for bird watching, looking for endemic birds such as the Red-headed Sarus Crane and White-shouldered Ibis, and to seek Vietnam’s famous langurs such as the Black-shanked and Red-shanked Douc langur, Annamese Silvered langur, Ha Tinh langur, Delacour’s langur and the Buff-cheeked Gibbon in the wild.  How about seeing the Irrawaddy freshwater dolphin in the Mekong river?  Or elephants in Cambodia?  Exploring both dry and wetlands?  We arrange complete transportation, lodging, guides to/and between each location.  Take a full wildlife tour through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos or choose as a few destinations and add them a classic itinerary above:

Personally, my favorite type of trip is when I am eating traditional foods!  Walking through local markets, buying fruits street vendors, eating with locals menus that might not be in my language, trying different country or regional specialties each night, sampling local desserts at restaurants that have been there for decades or modern and popular with locals, drinking a local beer or wine, talking about traditions and life.  But enough about me.  All of our itineraries will include great restaurants with local cuisine.  But if you're like me, we'll tailor some (or most) of your meals and activities to really get Vietnamese cuisine.  Our guides will take you to local (and reputable and even some famous) restaurants and street vendors, guide you through sampling local fruits like Rambutan, Dragonfruit, Mangosteen, we can even arrange for simple and local cooking classes, where you first buy ingredients at a local market.  And in Hoi An and its surrounding villages, you can tour rice planting and even plant your own rice.  Try renowned Hue cuisine, the best Pho, Bun Cha, Che Vietnamese dessert, classic Vietnamese springrolls, and even choose live seafood street vendors, cooked for you on the spot – steamed, grilled or sautéed with lemon grass, tamarind or coconut milk.  And since you may do more walking on this itinerary, we can build in any amount of spa or massage time throughout your trip:
