Itinerary

HANOI

Landing in Hanoi, we’ll meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation in the heart of the city. Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come.

HANOI

We’ll jump straight into the hustle and bustle of Hanoi today with a walking and rickshaw tour of the city. Soak in daily life in the chaotic capital and fill up on spicy spring rolls and tasty street food. This evening we’ll be heading out for dinner and drinks to see what Hanoi has to offer after dark.

HA LONG BAY

From Hanoi we’ll travel to Ha Long Bay, where we’ll cruise the emerald green waters surrounded by limestone mountains, feeling like we’re not quite on this planet. The secret caves and coves will prove too much to resist, so we’ll jump into kayaks to explore further before settling down for the evening on our overnight boat.

NINH BINH

The rice paddies and vast limestone mountains of Ninh Binh await us, where we’ll be staying at a local homestay in cute bungalows right by the river. We’ll take to two wheels to weave through the rice paddies before taking a local row boat through the network of rivers and caves. We’ll finish our time here with a hike to the Dragon Mountain viewpoint.

HOI AN

Beautiful, historical Hoi An will win you over. We’ll check in to our hotel, then this afternoon you’ll have time to explore, go shopping, or perhaps visit a local tailor to get a custom suit or dress made. Local fishermen will be our guides today teaching us the art of crab fishing. We’ll then take part in a hands on cooking class to become masters of all things Vietnamese cuisine, followed by experiencing the iconic lantern boats in the evening.

HOI AN

Today you'll try your hand at making an awesome Vietnamese souvenir - a lantern! Then we'll head to the coast for a chilled beach day with some lunch at a cool beach club.

HO CHI MINH CITY

Taking to the skies, we’ll head south to the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh. The rest of the day will be yours to explore as you wish.

MEKONG DELTA

Today we’ll explore the incredibly lush green beauty of the Mekong Delta. See how locals live and work on the river, visit local villages, and stay tonight in a local homestay.

MEKONG DELTA

The Cu Chi Tunnels are on the agenda for today. This network of hand dug underground tunnels played a crucial role in the Vietnam War, providing supply routes, hideouts and living quarters for soldiers. Arriving back into Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon, we’ll be dressing sharp for our farewell dinner and party this evening.

PHNOM PENH

Country hopping from Vietnam to Cambodia via bus, we’ll cross the border and arrive into Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, in the early afternoon. We’ll then freshen up and head out for dinner.

PHNOM PENH

Today will start with a tuk tuk tour through the colourful, busy streets of Phnom Penh. We’ll then pay a visit to two locations that played a pivotal role in Cambodia’s sad and troubled history - the S21 Prison, and the Killing Fields. The stories and history you’ll learn here will be difficult, however also necessary to understand Cambodia’s past, including the brutal reign of the Khmer Rouge. This evening, dinner, drinks and a night out Phnom Penh style are on the agenda.

KAMPOT

Swapping city streets for laid back country roads, today we’ll travel to the peaceful countryside province of Kampot, our home for the next two nights. After settling in to our cosy traditional guesthouse nestled right by the river, this afternoon we’ll travel by kayak, weaving slowly down the river whilst soaking in the tranquil surroundings.

KAMPOT

Fun fact - Kampot is famed for producing some of the best pepper in the world. We’ll be putting that theory to the test this morning as we visit a pepper plantation. This afternoon it’s time for a big cook off as we learn how to make some of Cambodia’s most iconic dishes, before heading out on the river for a chilled out sunset cruise.

KOH RONG SANLOEM

Never had Cambodia down as much of a beach destination? Just wait until you get to Koh Rong Sanloem. We'll travel by train and fast ferry to reach this paradisiacal island, where we’ll be checking in to our island paradise accommodation that is owned by the Chief of the village! This afternoon, feel yourself slipping in to island time as you laze on the beach, beer in hand and snapping up those island Insta pics at the Cliff Bar for sunset.

KOH RONG SANLOEM

It’s all aboard a private long tail boat this morning as we head out to uncover some of the island’s best snorkel spots. Expect to find yourself chilling out on secluded beaches, or exploring the colourful underwater world as you swim with tropical fish. This evening’s sunset will be the perfect time to reflect on another ridiculously awesome day together.

KOH RONG SANLOEM

Waking up on our last day in Koh Rong Sanloem, we'll spend the morning relaxing on the beach. We’ll then catch the ferry back to the mainland for dinner before boarding an overnight bus bound for Siem Reap. With fully reclining beds and air con, this is bus travelling in style.

SIEM REAP

Arrive in Siem Reap in the morning. From there we’ll venture out to the rural areas and discover some traditional floating villages surrounded by lush rice fields, lotus flowers and flooded forests.

SIEM REAP

Saving the best for last, today’s the day you’ll get to cast eyes on one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World. Built in the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is one of the oldest and largest temples in the world. We’ll explore the site and learn the history with a local guide, and maybe even reenact our favourite Tomb Raider scenes as we visit Ta Prohm, a temple that featured in the movie.

SIEM REAP

Your epic 21 day adventure comes to an end today. Those flying home will make their way to the airport, or keep living the dream and extend your stay in Cambodia or South East Asia with our help and the new friends you’ve made.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s never a bad time to travel in Vietnam or Cambodia. Most months of the year you will experience both sunshine and possibly some rain. It’s usually quite hot and humid most of the time, but it can occasionally get cold, especially in the north of Vietnam between November and February, so it’s always best to bring a couple of warm layers with your summer clothing.

The accommodation ranges from local homestays to hotels and overnight trains. All are a nice standard, clean and comfortable, however the homestay is quite rural so expect some bumpy roads, western but basic amenities and more bugs and wildlife in the area. On the islands in Cambodia, the community live a more basic life, so expect more basic accommodation and less reliable infrastructure.


Vietnam is a large country, and we experience a lot of it! So expect some longer travel days, with some loud motorbike traffic in the main centres. Roads and transport in Cambodia are relatively basic, so expect some bumps on the included overnight bus and possible choppy seas on the boat to the islands. Safety is paramount however, so you have nothing to worry about.


Delicious vegetarian cuisine is plentiful in Vietnam and Cambodia, however strict gluten free and vegan options can be harder as egg and fish sauce are common ingredients. But we will do our best to provide suitable options. A wide variety of Western meals is not common, however the authentic local food is outstanding! In Cambodia, you will find plenty of western cuisine, however gluten free or vegan options are available but less common, especially in the island communities, so expect fewer options on occasion.

It’s best to arrive on the actual start date. This is when most people arrive. There are no activities on the first day but the group gets together in the evening for a welcome dinner at around 7pm.

Do I need a visa and can you arrange it for me?

Visa requirements vary depending on the country you are travelling to and your nationality. It’s your responsibility to check the visa and entry requirements for the country/s you will be travelling to. There is some information about visas in our INTRO Travel App, which you can download here for iPhone or Google

IMPORTANT: We cannot apply for your visa for you and strongly recommend that you check on the relevant embassy or consulate website for the country/s you’ll be travelling to well in advance of your departure, as requirements can change and some countries require you to apply for a visa before you travel.

What’s the best way to access my money?

Getting a Wise travel card is easy! You can get a Wise travel card here.

What should I pack for my tour?

Whether you have a backpack or a suitcase the main thing to keep in mind is not to bring too much stuff! We strongly recommend that you bring less than 20 kgs of stuff with you.
If you haven’t got a backpack yet, try and get one that zips open along the side. There will be places on the tour where you can do laundry, so you don’t need to bring 16 pairs of shorts with you.

What if I'm travelling solo?

If you're struggling to convince your friends to join you on an adventure, you're not alone!

Travelling solo on a group tour can be one of the most exciting ways to experience a new destination, and you won't have to wait around for your mates to be ready. You leave yourself open to meeting amazing people, making new friends, and can keep yourself and your onward travel plans flexible.

The majority of our group members are solo travellers, so joining one of our group tours is a great way to meet people and make friends. Before your trip starts we'll put you in touch with the rest of your group so you can start chatting and get to know each other. And after the trip a lot of people continue travelling with the new friends they've made!


What if I'm travelling with a friend/s or partner?
