Get active with your teens through beautiful Northern Vietnam. With long, gorgeous bike rides, guided walking tours, kayaking expeditions and a night on a traditional boat in Ha Long Bay, this trip is bound to get the blood pumping (and the family bonding). Starting in Hanoi, you’ll cycle through the city, sit down to lunch at a social enterprise focusing on disadvantaged youth and explore the delicious local cuisine. Savour the fresh air in the countryside on a two-day ride from Luong Song to stunning Ninh Binh, cruise the waters of Vietnam’s favourite UNESCO-listed bay by kayak and explore Hoi An’s Old Town and its surroundings by bike and foot.
Highlights
- Experience the tranquil beauty of rural Vietnam while cycling through the lush rice paddies and limestone karsts of Ninh Binh.
- Kayak through the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay with your family, accessing places the junk boats can't and seeing the limestone karsts up close. Paddle through grottoes, land on secluded islands and inspect stalactites in Surprise Cave.
- Eat for a good cause at Hanoi's KOTO restaurant – an initiative that trains disadvantaged young people for careers in hospitality.
- Wander the well-preserved architecture, riverside restaurants and shopping districts of Hoi An’s Old Town – you'll explore this UNESCO-listed city by foot and by bike!
- Get active with your teens – there's nothing like a bit of family bonding while you walk, cycle and kayak through Vietnam’s beautifully scenic northern half.

Absolutely incredible trip. Equally physically challenging and relaxing. The 9 nights went really quickly. My teen really enjoyed the company of other kids the same age and I enjoyed the company of the other parents. Highly recommended and we return home with feeling fuller and with a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture.

Having self-travelled the world extensively over 4 years, with many self-organised trips, I was at first hesitant. However, this was the first organised tour group trip I have been on and it was one of the most enjoyable holidays, well organised, well matched guests, fantastic guide, I couldn’t be happier.

Our family had the best time on this trip. The kids were all kept really engaged, and I felt we experienced a breadth of what Vietnam has to offer. Worth being in decent shape!

We would highly recommend this tour for active families who like to do a lot in a short period of time. Drinks by the pool it’s not - authentic travel, lots of kilometres on bike and foot, amazing food and organisation

The Intrepid Vietnam family tour is great fun- variety of regions and experiences. Highlight was several day’s cycle in the rural areas. I’d recommend to active families.

A fantastic trip for families with teenagers and tweens. Outstanding activities, well run, and suiting a mix of abilities. Loc and the local team immersed us in the culture and the families had lots of fun.

This trip was so much fun for our family. We all loved the cycling and other activities and a great level of inclusions. Our leader Oscar provided sufficient flexibility and structure to accommodate us all which made the trip all the more better.

Intrepid curates a great balance of family activity, city exploration, Viet food fun with real but neat accommodation. We visited some regions and some cities; ate and made some Vietnamese food and definitely got a taste for more.

Excellent and amazing holiday with our three teenagers! Many and varied cultural experiences.

A very fun trip that gives a well rounded introduction to Vietnam! The bike riding is very rewarding so I would recommend doing some light cycling training before your trip so that you can make the most of it! All in all totally worth it!

This trip was perfect for our active family with teenagers. Intrepid provided an itinerary with a good amount of activity and cultural experience to give us a taste of Vietnam. Tien was an excellent tour leader. The food was amazing (even for someone with celiac). Would recommend the optional cooking class. Wonderful group, made some great friends.

The Vietnam intrepid tour with teenagers was fantastic. Very varied and active - I would advise you have a good level of fitness for the bike riding. In the 9 day tour we saw a lot, ate wonderful food, made good friends and felt we experienced the real Vietnam. Thank you to our amazing tour guide Chieu.

The Intrepid Vietnam Family Holiday with Teenagers is a great experience. Our family loved the the destinations included, all the sights and sounds and the lovely people we met. Cycling was also a great addiction and helped to burn up some energy while taking in the sights. Our guide Loc was so calm which had such a positive impact on our group.
08/15/2023
We had a wonderful trip! Loc was one of the best guides we've ever had on a group tour. The mix of activities for families with teenagers was perfect and we really enjoyed the company of the other family in our group. I highly recommend this trip!

As a family we loved this experience so much. It was so many things - active, informative (thanks to Toan our guide!), confronting and sensory. We not only bonded closely as a family but also with the other families in our group. It's a bond for life and we will all be continuing our friendships.

Fantastic trip! Great way to spend some one on one time with my 13 year old son!
