Balancing modern buzz with laid back charm, Vietnam has a knack of always matching your pace. Selective Asia holidays to Vietnam are superbly versatile, and can take you from cycling between rice paddies to padding across glorious tropical sand, or from darting between urban eateries to gliding along a river in a private sampan.
We unashamedly navigate by our stomachs at least 90% of the time, and Vietnam is one of our absolute favourite foodie destinations in Asia. While the quintessential experience has to be slurping a steaming hot bowl of pho from a streetside stall, there are tempting morsels to be tried around every corner. Whether dashing between street food stalls in Hanoi, tucking into cao lầu noodles in Hoi An, biting into a spicy banh mi sandwich in Ho Chi Minh City, or savouring fresh fruit and seafood in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam is the destination in Asia for foodie heaven.
The best travel experiences are always uncontrived and genuine, linking you straight to a country’s history, traditions and culture. In Vietnam, those experiences are everywhere, as long as you know where to look. Cycle through the green hills of Mai Chau, discovering the country’s rural rhythms, or take a sampan through tributaries of the Mekong Delta that bigger boats can’t reach. Learn about local life in National Park homestays, explore awe-inspiring underground caverns, walk beside railway tracks through Hanoi’s backstreets, and sail away from the Halong crowds in less-visited bays.
From cycling through Vietnam’s northern hills to venturing into underground caves, and trying plenty of delicious dishes along the way, Selective Asia’s Kate has explored Vietnam from north to south, and knows a fair few insider’s tips for getting the best from your Vietnam trip.
