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.

Ashok's 10 days trip to Vietnam

My wife and I went on a Vietnam & Cambodia vacation trip which was quite delightful. The people in both the countries are welcoming and friendly. SVietnamtrips organised our travels and we are grateful for their great work. Gracie Pham helped me with the planning of the trip from the very beginning. She suggested the itinerary and customised it for our needs. She was patient and accommodative through that entire process. The trip itself which we undertook in May 2025 was quite perfect, everything organised as per the plans and it went off very well. SVietnamtrips also took care of organising visas and air travels locally. We had special needs, being vegetarians, and it was well taken care of. Based on our plans, we had enough rest days and personal time which we enjoyed a lot. Good English speaking tour guides were arranged wherever we went! I would rate the planning and execution very high and to our full satisfaction and would like to thank Gracie, Ms. Tina and their team for a wonderful vacation!

Asharma's 5 days trip to Vietnam

Our vietnam trip was very good. The itinerary was very well designed. The cabs and shuttles were god as well. The only issue was with hotel selection. The hotels could have been slightly better. The hotels didn't have sufficient veg options and we were compelled to eat outside. Nor were the services in hotels very good. Apart from that, the trip was great.

Jatin's 5 days trip to Vietnam

5 Stars - An Unforgettable Vietnam Experience! We recently returned from our Vietnam trip (7th May to 13th May) organized by Travel Triangle, and we can't stop raving about it! Right from the planning stage to the final drop at the airport, everything was extremely smooth, flawless, and absolutely memorable. Our itinerary covered Hanoi City, the famous Train Street, Halong Bay cruise, the stunning landscapes of Ninh Binh, the charming streets of Hoi An, vibrant Da Nang City, and the absolute highlight of the trip – the magical Ba Na Hills. Every location was perfectly curated and timed, giving us a beautiful blend of nature, culture, and relaxation. Thanks to Travel Triangle for making this journey so seamless. The coordination, local guides, accommodation, and transfers were all top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-managed and memorable international trip. A special mention for Ba Na Hills – it felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. The Golden Bridge, cool mountain air, and the entire ambiance were simply surreal.
