Vietnam Holidays with Teenagers from Australia

Our Vietnam holiday with teenagers starts in the South of Vietnam. We enjoy a river boat cruise through densely connected network of rivers and canals in the Mekong Delta, passing through colorful floating markets and orchards. Then we have a day visit to its key historic sites including Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum and the fascinating Notre Dame Cathedral.  Heading to Hoi An, we visit the ancient town of streets, communal houses and traditional lifestyles. In Hue, we spend some time to enrich our knowledge of the former capital of Vietnam, and possibly enjoy a visit to a poor coastal high school where students learn lessons and carry out climate change adaptation activities. The capital city of Hanoi will enrich our experiences with its historic sites, busy shopping streets and cultural places. We take a cruise boat in the spectacular Halong Bay, where the Limestone Mountains and caves combine to make up one of the world’s most stunning landscapes. Finally we explore tribal life in Sapa, one of the key attractions in the remote North Vietnam, experience the hard life of minority ethnic groups in rocky and harsh climatic terraced rice fields. A short but memorable holiday to treat your teenagers before they join universities elsewhere.
