Vietnam at your own pace Independent Vietnam travel

When you travel independently in Vietnam, you'll find a fantastic mix of culture and nature. Vietnam is a brilliant blend of frenetic cities, untouched countryside and island hideaways. A sense of faded colonial grandeur still linger in the cities, with wide boulevards and narrow alleyways. The Streets are packed with Cyclos, and the air is thick with spicy aromas. During your Vietnam trip, you'll discover fascinating mountain villages, bright green terraced rice Paddies, dramatic limestone columns rising up from misty waters and tropical beaches. The Vietnamese people have big personalities, and will welcome you into their country with great warmth and pride.

Vietnam is excellent for free-spirited travelers who enjoy active, independent travel. You can pull through the beautiful highlands near Sapa and stay amongst the colorful hill tribes, visit ancient pagodas, explore exotic marine life and hike up giant sand dunes. The relaxed beaches and islands are perhaps Vietnam's best-kept secrets, and a few days on a tropical island is a great way end your independent Vietnam trip. Whatever your choice, we'll organize the right Vietnam travel experience for you.

Vietnam Travel Plan offers you the opportunity to put together your own unique, independent Vietnam travel experience, by giving you a wide choice of building blocks (modules). These are bite-sized Vietnam travel experiences usually lasting between two and three days each. Choose from 20 different short independent Vietnam tours which include classic Vietnam highlights such as the towering islands of Halong Bay, the Mekong Delta and Chu Chi tunnels, ancient Hanoi and world heritage sites. We have also found some more unusual options, such as a different take on the hill tribe treks around Sapa, and an almost forgotten island paradise. We also offer independent trips from Vietnam across to Cambodia and Laos.

If you want to organise your independent travel in Vietnam before you arrive, but you don't want to book a group tour, we offer the perfect solution. You can create your own action-packed itinerary or something a little more laid back, it's completely up to you - arrange as little or as much as you like.
