Vietnam_Salt_Harvesting_Free_Stock_Image_Pixabay_CCQuangpraha_7969d7379_1280_khcw12 Vietnam is rich with unique histories and cultural traditions that'll leave you speechless

Conjure up images of Vietnam, and you'll think of rainforest and rice terrace greens, white sands, black-and-white wartime images, as well as the brilliant reds and golds of temples. Vietnam holidays offer a plethora of beautiful landscapes, experiences and activities for travellers to enjoy; from cruising around the towering karsts of Ha Long Bay to climbing the mountainous skyscrapers of Ho Chi Minh City.Starting in the north, in Sapa, the views of emerald-tiered rice paddies set into undulating mountainscapes are sure to find a home in your Vietnam holiday photo collection, whilst trekking excursions and hill tribe visits provide opportunities to engage with the natural landscape and local communities.The modest northern capital of Hanoi is a whirlwind of notorious traffic, French colonial architecture, and rich Vietnamese culture. Catch a water puppet show at the local theatre, sample delicious street treats, then museum-hop from one point of interest to the other.Don't miss a trip out east to the renowned shimmering waters of Ha Long Bay. Take an overnight cruise around the craggy boulders, stopping off on remote islands and floating villages, then swim or kayak through the turquoise lagoons and delve deep into cool cave complexes.Moving south, the ancient canal city of Hoi An and the walled citadel of Hue teach lessons in Vietnamese history, whilst the beach destinations of Nha Trang and Da Nang both provide waterside relaxation, as well as fine dining and nightlife.Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is a world away from Hanoi, with its electric skyscrapers and modern developments. Pay a respectful visit to the War Remnants Museum to learn about the Vietnam War, as well as significant wartime sites such as the Cu Chi tunnels and the Independence Palace.

When to go to Vietnam

Like much of Southeast Asia, Vietnam falls prey to summer monsoon rains. The best time to visit southern Vietnam is between December and March, as the rest of the year is incredibly hot. The north of Vietnam has cooler temperatures, and in the extreme north of Sapa, it can get very cold (down to five degrees Celsius) in December. Hanoi and Ha Long Bay are best enjoyed between November and March, whilst Sapa is most green in October after the rains.

Read what our customers say about their trip with Wayfairer

“This is the second time Wayfairer has planned a trip, the first being a Safari and we will definitely have them plan another trip. Our journey to Antarctica exceeded our expectations".
"This was a dream trip I had thought about for years and somehow they managed to exceed what I had hoped for. Could not have asked for more."
"An outstanding experience with Wayfairer, Cat and Juan helped to organise, and manage, an amazing safari for a group of six. Their meticulous planning, endless enthusiasm and huge knowledge of the area meant that we had a truly unforgettable experience, we even had a fabulous birthday party in the middle of the Mara. The highest recommendation is that we plan to use Wayfairer again and again!"
"This was my second trip with Wayfairer - my first (to Africa) was so amazing, I was worried that I would be disappointed.....not a chance. Once again, the itinerary, the guides, the little touches, were superb. I am already thinking about what trip I will have Wayfairer plan next! For anyone trying to decide where to go - Peru was absolutely amazing! It may be one of the most under-rated countries. Machu Pichu was breathtaking, but there was also so much more to see and do....let Wayfairer take you on amazing journey!"
"Our trip was a dream come true. The arrangements made by Wayfairer exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were as good or better than the descriptions in our trip documents. The staff at each camp were wonderful and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We will highly recommend Wayfairer to any of our friends who are considering an adventure vacation."
"Wayfairer are absolutely superb - from our initial consultation, the advice on destination, the booking process, the concierge service, the recommendation of hotels, organisation of transport, advice on activities to the friendliness of stay it could not have been better. We will look to book all big holidays with Wayfairer from now on and will recommend them to everyone."
"Incredibly helpful service and access to the best facilities and great rates. Don't book anywhere else."
"Recently returned from an amazing safari trip inc Vic falls, Chobe, Okavango Delta and the Kalahari desert. Right from the first engagement with Wafairer and all the way through the trip has been so smooth. The recommendations and attention to detail on the itinerary were incredible. Thankyou on this once in a lifetime trip."
"Wayfairer and Juan assisted planning our trip to South Africa. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Juan was very responsive with answers when I had any questions at all. It was very nice working with Juan and will definetly use this company again. I have recommended them to friends and family. The vacation was perfect thanks to Juan and Wayfairer."
"Excellent service throughout. A wonderful trip and truly a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you."
"We just returned from a fabulous Kenya vacation for our family..ages 3 thru 70. Jess gave us great advice, offered wonderful accommodations, was really flexible, was willing to work with our budget. June helped us implement the trip. Thanks to both of them."
"Wayfairer organised our trip to Tanzania & Zanzibar. From initial contact Leonie and the team were very professional & informative. They listened to our requirements and put together an amazing itinerary within our budget. We were kept informed every step of the way. The holiday was amazing and all went smoothly. We felt confident that Wayfairer were only a call away should an issue arise. We wouldn't hesitate to use Wayfairer for our next holiday!"
We booked our honeymoon to Tanzania with Wayfairer. Tom gave us excellent suggestions for accommodation and itinerary and organised it all, including transfers. It all went very smoothly and the trip was fabulous. We stayed at Lake Manze in the Selous game reserve, an open safari camp with very knowledgeable and helpful guides and managers, followed by all-inclusive at the Sea Cliff Resort in Zanzibar. The Sea Cliff was wonderfully relaxing and welcoming. Thanks to Tom for an incredible honeymoon experience. We would definitely use Wayfairer again and have already recommended to friends.
I wanted to take my aging father on a safari in Kenya, but the task of organizing the trip seemed daunting. I wanted to make sure he was comfortable and that we chose the right tour to go on. Wayfairer stuck with me every step of the way, patiently asked all my questions and worked with me through several last minute changes. I recommend them highly.
