On foot, in the saddle, with paddle – actively discover the best of Vietnam
On foot, in the saddle, with paddle – actively discover the best of Vietnam
Whether it’s kayaking beneath sea cliffs, cycling past paddy fields in the Mekong Delta or trekking through hill villages, this dynamic trip allows us to interact with the people and environment of Vietnam in a way we couldn’t by vehicle alone. We get a great insight into everyday life as well as seeing all the major sights. Of course, all this activity needs fuelling, which gives us the perfect excuse for sampling the superb cuisine.
The weather will be hot and humid throughout with daytime temperatures usually 28C-34C (82F-93F). It is only a little cooler at night.
There is quite a range of seasons between the north and south: the south up to Hue has a distinct dry season between December and April, then a rainy season from May to November when it tends to come in short heavy bursts with bright sunshine in between. Hanoi is cool in autumn, and even gets chilly between November and February (with a drizzly rain).
There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam; it is quite pleasant any time of year. However, it is unlikely the weather will be perfect for the entire duration of the trip due to the shape of the country.
Please note, the Halong Bay boat trip can be subject to short notice change if certain adverse weather conditions develop. These could occur year-round, but especially in monsoon season (October-April). Halong Bay boat trips are governed by local authorities who are authorised to make such appropriate safety decisions. If your Halong Bay trip is affected by adverse weather, this could either result in a reduced excursion on Halong Bay for your group or, less likely, the need to re-arrange the itinerary if it is not possible to go out on Halong Bay. While this is not a frequent occurrence, our local team and leaders are well equipped to handle such situations and have long offered appropriate options to groups in the instances where this may occur.
If you go to Cambodia for the Angkor Wat extension, the weather is hot and humid year-round. The dry season is late October to May and the monsoon is normally between May and October; though there is an obvious transitional time between those settled periods.
The dry season has hot days and generally clear skies, though you can expect the odd shower. The monsoon is characterised by short, sharp bursts of rain and is generally overcast all day though this does not detract from the enjoyment of the place; you just need to take an umbrella or buy a cheap local poncho.
This trip has been rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate).
This is an action-packed holiday with activities including cycling, kayaking and trekking, so a good level of fitness is required. The weather can be hot and humid, particularly in the south when cycling, yet cold in the winter in the north around Hanoi and Halong Bay. Some days can be fairly long with early starts. Travel time is kept to a minimum, although there are a few longer drives with time for sightseeing. Please note, some accommodation will be basic but clean.
By accepting our offer in writing, you/you confirm that our terms and conditions have both been read and understood and that cancellation fees may apply if the trip is cancelled.
