From sunrise mist in the Sapa hills to sunset sails across the limestone peaks of Lan Ha Bay, the AOS Vietnam trip is pure, soul‑stirring adventure. Each day brought a fresh burst of wonder.Kayaking quiet coves, cycling through Hoi An’s lantern‑lit countryside, and wandering heritage streets that felt like living poetry while our expert guides kept things effortless and full of fun! If you’re looking for a journey that’s heartfelt, adventurous, and unforgettable, this is the one!
Anna Ivannason | Traveled in September
The homestays were one of my favourite highlights of the whole trip! Kelly could not have been a better guide! She said it was her first time leading a full tour, I could not believe it! We had to take an alternate route due to some bad weather, which delayed us going to Halong Bay which the team was able to organize pretty easily. Was a good tour overall.
