Unique Vietnam
Picture your students marvelling at sunset from a private wooden junk boat on UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay, or cruising the serene Mekong Delta. They’ll explore vibrant markets, from peaceful Hoi An to Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter, and stay in traditional "group homestays" for an authentic glimpse into rural Vietnamese life. Students will also gain a meaningful understanding of Vietnam’s history with visits to key sites from the Vietnam/American War, and enjoy meals at social enterprise restaurants that support disadvantaged youth.
Real Cultural Immersion
Every journey kicks off with a fun and practical language session, hosted by your local Vietnamese guide, giving students the confidence to interact with locals from day one. They'll dive deeper into culture staying in rural villages hosted by local community members and enjoy hands on activities like cooking classes, discovering the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam’s diverse hill-tribe communities (such as the Hmong, Thai, Muong, and Dao peoples). Students will also have the chance to join a traditional Batik dyeing workshop, learning intricate embroidery and weaving skills passed down through generations.
Service Learning
Meet up with a local collective that works for a more sustainable future and attempts to prevent coastal erosion. Help restore the marine and river ecosystems by planting trees to support natural protection against floods. Join a kayak tour around Hoi An to clean up the river and coastal area where students can have a hands-on experience and learn about the problems and solutions from the locals. In the mountains of the Northwest, often near our treks, get involved in simple infrastructure projects that local communities identify as a priority for visitors to assist with.
Physical Challenges
Encourage your students to step outside their comfort zones on scenic treks through the lush valleys of Vietnam’s northwest hill-tribe regions. These half-day walks between villages create opportunities for authentic cultural exchanges, think pop-up games of badminton, football, or basketball with local children after school. There's also the option of half-day group cycling trips, following quiet rural paths through limestone karsts and emerald-green rice fields, showcasing everyday life in the Vietnamese countryside.
