Cruise and kayak along the emerald waters and limestone peaks of Halong Bay
Dip into traditional Vietnamese culture by trekking through lush hill tribe villages
Walk and cycle on a tour through historic towns of Hue, Hoi An and Hanoi
Dig a little deeper into Vietnam’s history by crawling through the Cu Chi war tunnels

Start in Hanoi and end in Ho Chi Minh City, the Trails Of Vietnam tour is a guided kayaking and canoeing trip that takes 14 days. You will travel through Cai Be, Da Bac, Hue and 4 other destinations in Vietnam. Trails Of Vietnam is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Whether it's kayaking beneath towering cliffs in the sea, cycling by vibrant green paddy fields in the Mekong Delta or trekking amongst colourful hilltribes, this dynamic trip allows us to interact with the local people and environment in a way we couldn't by vehicle alone. We get a great insight into everyday life as well as seeing all the major sights. Of course all this activity needs fuelling, which gives us the perfect excuse for sampling the superb Vietnamese cuisine.

Trails of Vietnam Jan 2017

4 - Very Good

“What an amazing holiday we had. Thanh our guide had expert knowledge about every aspect of our trip and of every place we visited. The trip was very organised from every transfer, every type of transport, minibus, train, bike, kayak and plane all went off without a hitch. Thanh was also very good at keeping a large group together and in the right lace at the right time. From the wet humid north to the dry humid south Vietnam is a fascinating place with friendly - mostly happy people who live on next to nothing. Very humbling.”

“A lovely group, an efficient guide and a varied itinerary, we got to see a lot of Vietnam, a beautiful and exciting country. It was definitely a holiday that left me with some brilliant memories. The only thing which let us down was the rain in Hue and Danang with its consequent inactivity.”

“An excellent trip, our first with exodus.”

A superb trip through the real Vietnam

5 - Excellent

“The Trails of Vietnam trip is a full-on, busy trip which packs a huge amount in to the time available. You travel the length of Vietnam and enjoy a wealth of adventure on the way. From the hills of the North to the deltas of the South, you will meet and speak with many local people and gain an understanding of their way of life, the history, culture and food of Vietnam. We had a fantastic group of 16 very different and interesting people who all got along so well together.”
