Starting in Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City, the trip "Chopsticks & Coconuts Family Holiday" is a guided family trip that takes 14 days. You will travel through Whale Island, Halong Bay, Nha Trang and 5 other destinations in Vietnam. "Chopsticks & Coconuts Family Holiday" is a group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
From the spectacular limestone seascape of Ha Long Bay to the frenetic streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is a country of contrasts and surprises. The cities are an assault on the senses: noisy, colourful, aromatic and totally absorbing. We tour Hanoi by cyclo and have the option to see a traditional water puppet show.

We also have the chance to enjoy the superb Vietnamese cuisine and master our chopstick skills.
