Backpacking Vietnam South

Our hotel is just a few minutes walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam. Post up there, kick back at the hotel pool, or enjoy the rooftop views and grab some sun before the Nha Trang nightlife heats up. Free time activity options include: a visit to Vinpearl Land Waterpark - Vietnam's answer to Disney World (kind of) or a visit to the mud baths for a full-day hyrdotherapy extravaganza.

Everyone loves a boat party, right? Snorkel Vietnam’s best reefs, eat like the locals, dive in from the top deck, stop by a meet the local fisherman, soak up some sun and get involved with the floating bar -- a true can’t miss experience. We stop off along the way at some secluded beaches and a full lunch is provided (included) aboard our private boat. Nha Trang is one of Vietnam's most tropical destinations and this day is spent exploring as much of that as possible.

From the weather to the architecture, Dalat is unlike any other place in Vietnam! This mid-highlands city is also one of the best spots to visit some of Vietnam’s most stunning waterfalls. The Alpine Coaster brings you to the bottom of the falls in an adrenaline-filled ride down the face of the mountain and the short hike afterward provides big scenic rewards. Then, to the buzzing night market to explore what the locals consider the most romantic city in all of Vietnam.

Morning bus from the lush highlands of Dalat to the bone-dry desert of Mui Ne! This Vietnam trip has it all. Chill out at our beachside resort and enjoy one of the last beach days on tour. Somewhere over the last three weeks and 1,700 kilometres of travelling, these complete strangers have become part of your new backpacker family. And you all deserve some rest and relaxation after all you've done. The beach is just a few steps from your door, the pool is first class, and the activity options are many.

Wake up for sunrise over Phan Thiet’s sprawling White Dunes - one of those surreal places on the Vietnam tour where the desert meets the sea. Take the short walk to the top of the dunes for the sunrise, sand sled the Red Dunes, visit the enchanting Fairy Stream (also known as the Little Grand Canyon), and stop by a local fishing village. Then you'll need to make the hard decisions: Post up poolside or head to the beach - or both? This is your final beach day on tour and there's no wrong answers here.

Morning bus to the buzzing city of Saigon! Spend the day checking out the sights and enjoy a last remaining family dinner (always optional) before heading out into the city for a night out. The hotel is located in a bustling backpacker district where the neon nightlife and near-endless restaurants are never more than a few steps from the door. Expect dancing, singing, drinking, and more dancing on one of the last days together on this Vietnam trip with your crew of new lifelong mates.

Get down and wind through what was once the front battlelines during the Vietnam War. These tunnels were the base of operations for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. In all, there are over 250 kilometres of tunnels that honeycomb through the district of Cu Chi alone. Our expert guides explain everything there is to know about this most unlikely of hideouts. You can weave your way through the extensive tunnel system or even pay a small fee to try your aim with several firearms - even an AK47! Then a final family feast (included) and night out in Saigon.

Enjoy a final breakfast together and say your goodbyes and until-next-times before heading to the airport or further on in your travels. Airport drop off is included in the tour and available throughout the day. The tour has finished but your Vietnam adventure will stay with you for a lifetime!
