Guided Vietnam and Cambodia Luxury Multi-Adventure Tour

Welcome to Vietnam!

We settle into our hotel before stepping into the lively charm of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Together, we wander through its maze of narrow streets, alive with scooters, sizzling street food, and family-run shops full of local flavor. Later, we experience Vietnam’s cultural heart with a traditional Water Puppet Show, where ancient folk tales come alive on shimmering water. Later, we glide through the city on a leisurely cyclo ride, soaking in its vibrant rhythm from the comfort of this classic Vietnamese rickshaw. Our first day concludes with a warm welcome dinner, celebrating the rich and aromatic tastes of Vietnamese cuisine.

Today, we leave the city behind for the serene waters of Lan Ha Bay. We kayak through hidden lagoons, gliding past towering karst formations, or let local rowers guide us on bamboo boats to the stunning Dark and Bright Cave. As the day winds down, we board a luxurious cruise and watch the sunset paint the sky in shades of pink and orange over dramatic limestone cliffs. Dinner is served aboard as we drift past emerald waters and floating fishing villages, falling asleep surrounded by the bay’s peaceful beauty, a perfect close to a day of adventure.

We begin the day with an energizing Tai Chi session on deck, greeting the first light of dawn as it dances across the bay. After breakfast, we disembark and transfer back to Hanoi for our flight to Da Nang, then drive to our hotel in Hoi An. In the evening, we stroll along Hoi An’s Lantern Trail, where glowing lanterns illuminate centuries-old streets and bridges. The town’s Chinese assembly halls, Japanese covered bridge, and riverside cafés create a magical, timeless atmosphere. We can wander at leisure, sample local cuisine, or shop for silk and handicrafts, soaking in the gentle rhythm of this UNESCO-listed Old Town.

Today invites us to immerse ourselves in both culture and adventure. We begin with a relaxed 30-km cycle through Hoi An’s lush countryside, weaving past emerald rice paddies where farmers in conical hats work, shaded lanes lined with palms, and charming villages where artisans continue traditional crafts. We then visit Tra Que Herb and Vegetable Village, witnessing how local farmers nurture fresh, flavorful produce using time-honored techniques.

Our journey continues to Thanh Ha Pottery Village, where centuries-old methods bring bricks, tiles, and ceramics to life — and we get the chance to try the pottery wheel ourselves. Back in town, we dive into a hands-on cooking class with local chefs, learning to create fragrant pho, crisp spring rolls, and other Vietnamese classics. Finally, we gather to enjoy the dishes we have made, savoring the flavors while connecting deeply with the culture and rhythms of Hoi An.

Today's morning is free as we fly from Vietnam to Siem Reap, the gateway to the magnificent temples of Angkor. After arriving, we check into our charming colonial-style hotel, our home for the next few nights. The afternoon is free to unwind, perhaps relax by the pool, enjoy a quiet drink on the terrace, or simply soak in the tranquil surroundings. Siem Reap is not only known for its ancient wonders but also for its lively markets, flavorful Khmer cuisine, and rich cultural heritage. This evening, we gather for a special welcome dinner featuring authentic Khmer dishes, accompanied by a captivating Apsara dance performance at the Apsara Theatre. The graceful dancers, adorned in shimmering costumes, bring to life the mythical Apsaras from the ancient Khmer epic Reamker, closely related to the Hindu Ramayana. It’s the perfect introduction to the beauty, artistry, and spirit of Cambodia.

Today, we set out on an unforgettable journey to explore the wonders of Angkor at our own pace. Cycling through peaceful forest paths, we pass ancient gates draped in vines and temples slowly reclaimed by nature. Our 30-kilometer loop takes us through the highlights of the Angkor Archaeological Park — from the grandeur of Angkor Wat, with its intricate carvings and towering spires, to the serene faces of Bayon Temple smiling down from the jungle canopy. At Ta Prohm, giant tree roots wrap around centuries-old stone walls, creating one of Cambodia’s most photogenic scenes. Riding between temples lets us experience the magic of Angkor in a truly immersive way — feeling the breeze, hearing birdsong, and pausing whenever a hidden carving or quiet shrine catches our eye. We stop for a traditional Khmer lunch before returning to our hotel, our minds full of history and wonder.

This morning, we set out on an inspiring 12km hike across the sacred slopes of Mount Kulen, a place deeply woven into Cambodia’s spiritual heritage. Our trail begins in the local community of Anlung Thom and winds through peaceful villages, cashew plantations, and patches of lush forest. As we walk, we pass hidden ruins and ancient kilns — remnants of a pre-Angkorian site recently uncovered by archaeologists. Moving through tall grass and lychee trees, we explore forgotten temples like Perng Eysei and Damrei Krab, before pausing at Preah Kral pagoda. A picnic lunch awaits us at Srah Damrei, where 10th-century stone carvings of elephants and lions stand guard over the ridge.

Later, we continue by van to visit Preah Ang Thom, home to the revered Reclining Buddha, a pilgrimage site for Khmer people. Our walk then leads us to the “Thousand Lingas,” a sacred riverbed of carved stones believed to bless the lands below. The journey ends at a serene waterfall — perfect for a refreshing dip before we return to our hotel, hearts full of discovery and peace.

After breakfast, your adventure wraps up. Depending on flight schedule, we might have time for one last stroll through Siem Reap before heading to the airport.
