Halong Bay & Lan Ha Cruise: Kayak, Caves & Cooking ClassYou’ll wake up surrounded by Halong Bay’s limestone towers, kayak through Lan Ha’s quiet waters, taste fresh seafood at lunch, and try your hand at Vietnamese cooking with locals guiding you along the way. From sunrise Tai Chi to drifting through caves by bamboo boat, every part feels personal—like being let in on something locals have known forever.
Ho Chi Minh City Shore Excursion: Private Guided TourA private guided tour of Ho Chi Minh City from Phu My Port includes pickup and dropoff at the cruise terminal, an English-speaking guide, Vietnamese lunch, and visits to the War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, Cholon (Chinatown), Thien Hau Temple and Ben Thanh Market. The itinerary is customizable, so you choose which stops matter most and how long to spend at each one. All entry fees and taxes are included.Is it for me?Eight to twelve hours is long enough to see the major sites—the War Remnants Museum, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Ben Thanh Market—without rushing, but short enough to stay within a typical port day. If your ship's schedule is tight, your guide can focus on the highlights; if you have more time, you can linger at the temples or spend longer in Cholon.
Saigon: Ben Thanh Market Tour & Vietnamese Cooking ClassYou’ll wander Saigon’s Ben Thanh Market with a local chef who knows every vendor, then get hands-on during a Vietnamese cooking class — rolling spring rolls, mixing spices, and sharing laughs over your own meal. With transport included and recipes to take home, this is more than just learning to cook; it’s tasting real Saigon life from the inside.
Hai Van Pass & Son Tra Peninsula Motorbike Tour from Hoi AnA full-day motorbike tour from Hoi An through the Hai Van Pass and Son Tra Peninsula with an English-speaking Easy Rider guide or self-riding option. You ride the 21-kilometer Hai Van Pass (500 meters elevation), stop at Linh Ung Pagoda overlooking Da Nang Bay, explore Son Tra Peninsula's coastal viewpoints, swim at Suoi Mo Waterfall, and lunch at Lang Co Beach. Hotel pickup, helmets, rain ponchos, and all entrance fees are included; luggage transfers come with one-way routes.Is it for me?Choose the Easy Rider option if you want to focus on the road and the views without managing the bike yourself, or pick self-riding if you have motorbike experience and want to control the pace through the curves. The one-way route works best if you're moving between cities; the loop suits travelers based in Da Nang or Hoi An for a single day.
Cu Chi Tunnels: Small Group Tour with Pickup & Local SnacksYou’ll crawl through real Cu Chi tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City, taste local tapioca and hot tea with your group, and hear stories from a guide who knows every corner here. Includes hotel pickup and drop-off so you don’t have to worry about logistics — just bring your curiosity and maybe a change of shirt if you’re claustrophobic.
Ha Giang Loop motorcycle tour 4 days: Ma Pi Leng PassA four-day motorcycle tour of Ha Giang Loop in Northern Vietnam with a local English-speaking guide, small group of around 10 riders, and three nights in homestays along the route. You ride through the Dong Van Karst Plateau, climb to Lung Cu flag tower at Vietnam's northernmost point, traverse Ma Pi Leng Pass—one of the four biggest and most dangerous passes in the north—and take a one-hour boat ride on the green waters of the Nho Que river to see Tu San canyon, the deepest in Asia. Protective gear, raincoat, gas, meals at local restaurants and family homestays, and a guide fluent in English are included; travel insurance is optional at checkout.Is it for me?If you have ridden before or are willing to learn on the road, a small group of ten riders removes the isolation of solo travel through remote mountain villages while keeping the pace manageable—you move at the speed of the slowest rider, and the easy riders manage the technical sections so you focus on the landscape and the stops.
Phu Quoc: Small-Group Snorkeling Tour & Hidden Coral ReefsYou’ll float above living coral gardens in Phu Quoc with a small group and a professional underwater guide who keeps things relaxed but safe. Expect real-time route changes based on weather, two hidden reef spots (like Coral Mountain or Half-moon Reef), fresh fruit after snorkeling, and zero crowds—just you, your mask, and that hush beneath the waves.
Motorcycle Food Tour Ho Chi Minh: Female Rider TeamYou ride through Ho Chi Minh City on the back of a scooter with a female guide, stopping at four carefully chosen spots for lunch and dinner—bò kho in a stone bowl, tiger prawn rolls, crab noodle soup, and grilled beef in betel leaves. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with helmet, fuel, and a rain poncho if the weather turns. The pace is steady, the guide speaks English, and you eat where locals eat.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to eat where locals do without arranging transport or navigating the city alone. The scooter is how you move through Saigon's food scene—it's faster than walking and closer than a van, which is what makes hitting four quality spots in one outing possible.
Ho Chi Minh City: Morning Scooter Tour & Ao Dai RidersYou’ll hop on a scooter behind local riders (sometimes in Ao Dai) for a morning weaving through Ho Chi Minh City’s history: French-built cathedrals, secret war bunkers, incense-filled pagodas. Expect stories from your guide, hotel pickup included — plus that rush of joining Saigon’s daily buzz instead of just watching from afar.
Hue Imperial City Walking Tour & Forbidden Purple CityYou’ll step through Hue’s Imperial City gates with a local guide, wander royal halls like Thai Hoa Palace, explore quiet corners of the Forbidden Purple City, and pause in restored gardens where kings once strolled. Expect small moments—laughter over old rituals or sunlight flickering on lacquered columns—that stay with you long after leaving.
Hoi An Countryside Bike Tour: Family Homes & Rice Wine TastingYou’ll cycle quiet roads outside Hoi An with a local guide, stopping for fresh bánh bèo rice cakes at a family kitchen and learning about village chapels and traditions along the way. Watch boat builders work by hand, try weaving mats yourself, and taste homemade rice wine before returning to town — you might find yourself thinking about those moments long after.
ATV riding in Mui Ne: White Sand Dunes at sunriseThis five-hour tour in Mui Ne puts you on an ATV at the White Sand Dunes for sunrise, then moves through the Red Sand Dunes, a working Fishing Village and a walk along the fairy stream. Pickup from your hotel and a driver are included; you can ride the quad bike yourself at the white dunes for an additional charge, or stay in the jeep. The tour suits all fitness levels and ends with a return to your hotel.Is it for me?The ATV option at the white dunes is what separates this from a straight sightseeing ride — if you want to operate the quad bike yourself across the sand and around the lake at sunrise, add it at checkout. Without it, you stay in the jeep and still see all four stops, which works just as well if you prefer to ride as a passenger or want to keep the cost down.
Da Nang: Jolie Cooking Class with Lunch & Local StoriesYou’ll cook classic Vietnamese dishes in Da Nang with Jolie and her friends — expect laughter, real local stories, hands-on lessons, and a homemade lunch you’ll remember. Vegetarian options are welcome. After eating together you can try your hand at piano or guitar before heading back by Grab.
Saigon Motorbike City Tour: Female Riders & Secret BunkerYou’ll ride through Ho Chi Minh City’s wild traffic with a local female guide, stop at landmarks like Notre-Dame Cathedral and Thien Hau Temple, slip underground into a secret wartime café bunker, and share lunch at a spot locals love. Expect honest stories and small surprises—this tour leaves you feeling connected long after your helmet comes off.
Da Nang & Hoi An: Marble Mountains, Lady Buddha & Ancient Town Day TripYou’ll wander incense-scented pagodas above Da Nang, meet stone carvers at Marble Mountains, and drift through Hoi An’s lantern-lit streets by evening. With local stories guiding you from Lady Buddha’s calm gaze to riverside markets and dinner included, this day trip brings Central Vietnam’s spirit alive in small moments you’ll remember long after.
Da Lat: Go Kart & Mongoland with Coffee Farm & PagodaYou get picked up in Da Lat and spend the day racing a downhill go-kart through the mountains, wandering a fantasy photo park, learning how coffee grows in the highlands, and visiting a Buddhist pagoda with views toward a waterfall. Lunch and all entry fees are included, and your English-speaking guide handles the route and timing so you just show up and move through the day.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full-day mix of thrills, Instagram moments, and local culture without arranging transport or figuring out which stops to hit — the fixed route covers the quirky side of Da Lat in one loop.
Hanoi: Market & Cooking Class in Garden Villa with PickupYou pick ingredients at a Hanoi market, cook two or three iconic Vietnamese dishes in a spacious garden villa, and eat what you made for lunch. The guide speaks English and trained under a Sofitel head chef. Pickup from Old Quarter is free, and you get luggage storage, welcome tea, seasonal fruit, and a homemade fruit wine tasting included. The whole experience runs about four to five hours depending on your pace.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to cook actual Vietnamese food, not watch a demo, and don't want to arrange their own market visit or transport. Plan for a full morning or afternoon out—that's what gives you time to shop, cook without rushing, and sit down to eat what you made.
Da Lat go-kart racing and Rainbow Slide: Half-day activityA half-day activity in Da Lat combining real-life go-kart racing on an epic highland luge course with the Rainbow Slide and Mongo Land amusement park. The package includes pickup from central Da Lat, a professional guide in English, entrance tickets, bottled water, and hotel drop-off. Go-kart racing or Fresh Garden flower field are optional add-ons you choose at checkout.Is it for me?Book this one when you want both speed and amusement-park fun in a single morning or afternoon—the guide handles timing and entry so you move between the luge kart track and Mongo Land without organizing either stop yourself.
Hanoi Countryside Bike Tour: Long Bien Bridge, Bonsai & Co LoaYou’ll pedal quiet roads beyond Hanoi, cross Long Bien Bridge with local chatter in your ears, sip tea with bonsai gardeners, and try egg coffee after lunch. Expect muddy shoes and honest smiles — this half-day bike tour lets you feel both city edges and rural calm in one ride.
Mekong Delta Day Tour: My Tho, Ben Tre & Sampan RideYou’ll leave Ho Chi Minh City behind for a day of coconut-scented air, slow boat rides through palm canals, and shared laughter over Mekong specialties like elephant ear fish. With local guides leading you through workshops and riverside villages, you’ll get close to real Delta life — not just watch it float by.
