.. the jewel of South East Asia, spectacular, ancient, modern, buzzing with energy and still unspoiled if you know where to look.  It will astound you and steal your heart.

Ha Giang, Dong Van and Meo Vac In the far north, from Ha Giang to Dong Van & Meo Vac, you’ll find some of the most stunning tropical mountain landscapes anywhere.  Jagged limestone peaks and vast gorges stretching to the horizon.

Hoang Su Phi and Xin Man Further west are the great less traveled valleys and famous rice terraces of Hoang Su Phi, and west again the vast peaks and valleys of Xin Man — with the best and most authentic ethnic market in the region.

Roof of Vietnam and Sapa West again are the country’s highest and grandest mountains towering above the hill town of Sapa and its beautiful valleys.  The mountains extend southwards from Sapa to the legendary rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai.

Ninh Binh and Cuc Phuong South of Hanoi are the incredible hidden waterways and mountains of Ninh Binh, the splendid rain forests of Cuc Phuong and, a bit further north, the gorgeous, tropical rice fields, valleys, hills and tea plantations of Mai Chau, Pu Luong and Moc Chau.

Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay Along the coast are the wonders of Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, where you can cruise, swim and kayak among beautiful islands, cliffs and golden beaches, and feast on fabulous seafood.

Ba Be Lake and Ban Gioc North east of Hanoi are the beautiful, tranquil oasis of Ba Be Lake and spectacular Ban Gioc waterfall, set among amazing karst mountains.

Hanoi And at the heart of it all lies Hanoi, a fantastic, dynamic, multi-layered, old, contemporary, intensely Vietnamese city of 8 million people and 5 million motorcycles, full of contrasts, contradictions and surprises.

We’ve combed all these regions to find the gems and experiences that will make your trip special.

Have a look around our new website — it’s deliberately rich and detailed rather than minimal, to help you dream and decide what you might like to do.
