We are currently in the process of organising a tour of Vietnam for a couple who've been trying to go since pre covid and this could be you. They’re finally heading out this April. We’ll start in the cloud and rice fields in the northern heights of Sapa and move all the way to the river markets of the Mekong Delta. We know every corner and every secret beautiful wonder of this incredible country. It’s a landscape bursting with vibrant colours, brilliant people, food and unforgettable smells.

Along the way you'll wander through the beautiful ancient town of Hoi An with its tea lights floating down the river at night, a place that feels like stepping into a dream. You’ll swim in the bio‑luminescent waters of Nha Trang as the sea lights up around you with every movement. You’ll stand at the mouth of the vast unexplored caves of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park where the earth opens into cathedral‑sized chambers carved by time and silence.

All those experiences whilst being surrounded by a country with the most gorgeous, amazing and sometimes outright dramatic weather, loving giving people and fresh organic foods from the earth. It’s pure excitement and enrichment in every town. It gets me so excited.

I work alongside Freebird Adventures, the guys who put me on my first bike in Vietnam nearly twenty years ago. They offer truly immersive experiences. We don’t just sell holidays, I’m obsessed with planning them and making sure they fulfil every reason you wanted to travel in the first place. This isn’t just a standard vacation. It’s an experience, a story and a memory that stays with you forever.

My heart still longs for the open, winding coastal Ho Chi Minh Road on a motorcycle and the smell of BBQ drifting through the streets. I remember sitting, sipping beer with a man I’d just met smoking to***co pipes until 5am and sleeping in hammocks beach side. You can’t teach the love that lived experience gives you for Vietnam and that’s why I know we aren’t just good but the best choice to send you on your next adventure.

With Freebird Adventures waiting for you on the other side, you’ll discover the hidden corners of paradise.

This is safari, redefined.
