Adventure Activities Vietnam

From the high mountains of the north to the green rice fields and deltas of the south, Vietnam poses as a beautiful tourist destination in South Asia.

From visiting heritage destinations to cruising to trekking, there is no dearth of things to do in Vietnam. The Land of the Ascending Dragon has something to do or the other for every type of traveler.

Here’s what do in Vietnam to make the trip a rewarding one:

1. Cruising in the Halong Bay

Halong Bay, with its emerald green water and karst cliffs all around, makes for a picture-perfect destination in Vietnam. Local folklore calls the bay as the place ‘where the dragon descends into the sea.’ The natural scape of Halong Bay is as diverse as they come. The crystal surface of the lake is occasionally interrupted by limestone highlands, wave-eroded caves and grottoes all around. A cruise down Halong is among the best things to do in Vietnam.  

2. Take a cycle tour around Hue

Situated on the bank of Perfume River, Hue is the legacy of the Nguyen Empire. Along with the contemporary buildings erected for tourism purposes, the old edifices like the Citadel, the Tombs of the Emperor, the Forbidden City and the Pagoda stand out as a reminiscence of the past. In modern-day history, this town marked the bifurcation between the north and the south during the Vietnam War. One can explore this historic town on cycles, either pedaling by oneself or taking one of the cyclo vehicles available. When the destinations are all covered, one can enjoy a drink by the Perfume River. It is not among the regular Vietnam activities, but surely a rewarding one.

3. Trekking from Phong Nha

The small town of Phong Nha in central Vietnam is where many jungle trekking and cave diving tours start. It falls in the Quang Binh province, which is home to hundreds of very deep caves. The deepest is Hang Son Doong – a deep, dark, mysterious cavern big enough to fit a skyscraper. The surrounding jungles of the Phong Nha National Park are perfect for short trips of trekking in Vietnam, featuring waterfalls and occasional visits by monkeys and foxes. The cave tours, though scary, are among the top things to do in Vietnam.

4. Go down the Cu Chi Tunnels

Yet another Vietnam adventure to do, Cu Chi tunnels are an absolute must. But they are more than just underground tunnels. They are a 250 km long man-made network created for discreet communication and hiding during the both the Indochina Wars. There are winding paths, hidden chambers, arsenals and storerooms and branches heading up to Cambodia. Ben Dinh and Ben Duoc are the two important tunnels. Apart from the fact that it is such a fun thing to do in Vietnam, these tunnels offer a glimpse into the kind of past that the soldiers had to live through in this war-ravaged country.

5. Row down the Mekong Delta

Southern Vietnam is entirely defined by the River Mekong. Thus the Mekong Delta is an obvious Vietnam point of interest. It fertilises the tail of the dragon on Vietnam’s map after traveling for more than 4000 km from Tibet, and sets the scene for a perfect cruise ride along its languid pace. Take in the ambience of green paddy fields, the rural villages and the locals with their trademark triangular hat on.

Preetika's 8 days trip to Vietnam

One day should be kept completely free at each destination. In our trip half a day was planned, due to daily tours one doesn't get anytime to experience the city by walk and explore. Also last leg ie HCM in my tour wasn't planned as well as Hanoi wnd DaNang, as a result, there was no time to visit CuChi tunnels, war museum etc. it seemed the agent had got tired and didn't prioritise or was not well versed with HCM city leaving these war memorials optional. Ha Long Bay Cruise. Ninh Binh boat ride. Bana Hills, Hoi An Ancient town. Shopping and Hop on Hop Off bus tours in Hanoi and HCM city

Poorvi's 10 days trip to Vietnam

We booked our Vietnam trip with S Vietnam Trips in May 2025 for 10 days. Right from the day one of raising enquiry on Travel Triangle to the day of finishing trip, Jenna Phuong was very responsive and helped us in every step. She guided us during itenary design phase and also was very patient to accommodate all our customizations. The trip went very well, hotels booked were very good, local tours arranged were also very good. She was reachable through out the trip for any help and guidance. They also assign a local coordinator in each city who was continuously in touch with us through out the trip, guiding us on daily basis. Overall had a very good time, entire trip was memorable, enjoyable without a single flaw. Definitely, we recommend S Vietnam Trips to everyone.

Vishal's 7 days trip to Vietnam

We had a 8D7N trip to Vietnam and it was pretty well organised. The itinerary was adjusted and customised according to our needs. We had multiple discussion with the travel agent (Rose Nyugen) for 2 continuous days & she made sure that she answered each and every query patiently. The pricing was decent. And the hotels provided by them were top notch. Rose made sure that she was available 24X7 during our entire tour. Will definitely recommend Vietnam Aurora Travels for your Vietnam trip

Heer's 13 days trip to Vietnam

Overall it was good. If the travel triangle people were more interactive then the agents… the holiday could be more comfortable. There was lots of confusion where agent forgot to book hotel and was asking us last home to share hotel cost. Miscommunication on billing amount. All this could have been avalided if travel triangle concerned employee was more interactive and involved. I had to ask again and again to her to connect. Ninh binh day trip with Indian food

Sachin's 8 days trip to Vietnam

I had booked my travel (Sightseeing and Local Transfers) with Trang of Golden Footstep and would say it was one of the best decisions for the Trip. Her arrangements and updates to customer were to the point. She ensured I had a comfortable experience during my travel. I am glad to choose Travel Triangle and it's affiliated partner Golden Footstep for this trip and helping me making it memorable and hassle free. There were not just one but every part of the journey was memorable right from my 1st destination that was Phu Quoc to Ha Noi, Ba na hills was the best of the lot along with 3 island tour at phu quoc.
