Independent Vietnam travel at your own pace Pre-booked, Independent Vietnam Travel

When you travel independently in Vietnam, you will find a fantastic mix of culture and nature. Vietnam contains a perfect blend of frenetic cities, untouched countryside and island hideaways, which promise to leave any independent traveller breathless. The cities retain the grandeur of their colonial past, the wide boulevards and narrow alleyways alive with iconic cyclos, and the air thick with tempting aromas. By travelling further afield in Vietnam you'll discover fascinating mountain villages, spectacular terraced rice paddies, and dramatic limestone columns rising up from misty waters. The Vietnamese people have big personalities, and will welcome you into their country with great warmth and pride.

Vietnam Travel Plan sees Vietnam as a playground for people who enjoy active, independent Vietnam travel. You can trek through the beautiful highlands and stay amongst the colourful hill tribes, visit ancient pagodas, explore the exotic marine life and even hike giant sand dunes. The sultry beaches and islands are perhaps Vietnam's best-kept secret, allowing you to end your active independent trip with a few days in a tropical paradise. Whatever your choice, we can organise the right independent Vietnam travel experience for you.

What does Vietnam Travel Plan offer?

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 travel experiences usually lasting between two and three days each. Choose from 20 different modules which include classic 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 come up with some more unusual options such as a different take on the hill tribe treks around Sapa, and found an almost forgotten island paradise. We also offer trips from Vietnam across to Cambodia and Laos.

If you want to organise your independent travel in Vietnam before you arrive, and don't want to book a group tour, we offer the perfect solution. You can create an action packed independent trip or something more laid back, it's completely up to you - arrange as little or as much as you like. If you need inspiration we also offer a number of suggested itineraries through Vietnam. These consist of several modules that we have strung together in a logical order to create longer independent Vietnam travel itineraries. We also offer the chance to treat yourself to a little more luxury with our comfort itineraries.
