Overview

Overview
In the twenty-first century, Vietnam has become a fascinating place to go trekking and hiking. It is endowed with a plethora of natural resources, including lush and infinite national parks, colorful hill tribal people, different ecosystems and species, lively and gorgeous green jungles, rustic villages, nature reserves, and amiable eco homestay families.
Trekking in Vietnam will satiate the part of you that yearns for an adventure that allows you to fully experience the natural spirit of Vietnam and offers a variety of outdoor sports.
Trekking in Vietnam offers countless chances for those seeking a more personal connection and exchange of feelings with the natural world and other people. From Sapa Hill Station, one can see Fansipan (3143 m), also referred to as the "roof of Indochina," as well as the bottom of the Sapa valley. It provides stunning views and awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Additionally, the enigmatic and remarkable landscapes of lush green vegetables, wildlife, and rich cultural relics can be found in the National Parks that stretch from Mai Chau, Son La, Bien Bien, Lai Chau, to Ha Giang Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Ba Be in the Northeast. Trekking across Vietnam's bright national parks and lush nature reserves offers unique travel experiences. The untainted environment and breathtaking surroundings reward the energetic explorers. Incredibly memorable experiences can be had in eco-homestay villages when you stay with local families and eat great food.
The most breathtaking place on Earth to go sea kayaking is Halong Bay. A labyrinth of protected waterways with innumerable sea arches, sea caves, and secret lagoons is formed by thousands of limestone islets rising vertically from the warm, aventurine ocean. Since we were the first to introduce sea kayaking to Halong Bay twenty years ago, we have been discovering hidden gems that we share with our guests as we explore every inch of this breathtaking archipelago. Come along for an elegant journey on board our mothership, a traditional-styled sailing junk with two spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms, ample deck space for lounging, and a dining area serving delicious gourmet meals, including amazing fresh fish from the bay.
