Where we've boarded
Every trip, sorted by gate. Tap a country to filter the album below.
Fully boarded — Vietnam
Same country, two different trips — pick the pace that fits your family. Written the way we actually travelled them.
The beach-and-charm route — golden bridges, coconut boats and exactly one big activity a day, ending on Vietnam's island of theme parks and white sand.
THE GOLDEN BRIDGE, BA NA HILLS
Check into a family-friendly stay (Wyndham Royal Beachfront or M Village). Let everyone stretch their legs at My Khe Beach or the hotel pool.
Cam Thanh Coconut Village for the basket boat ride, then a stroller-friendly wander through Hoi An Ancient Town.
Cable car to the Golden Bridge, a wander through the French Village, and the indoor Fantasy Park for the tired hours.
VietJet's direct Da Nang–Phu Quoc hop takes under 2 hours. Check in beachfront, then a low-key evening at the Night Market.
The Safari Bus lets animals roam freely around you. Evening: gondola rides through Grand World's colourful canals.
A full day at VinWonders — the Sea Shell aquarium, gentle rides, a water park, shade everywhere it's needed.
The world's longest over-sea cable car to Pineapple Island, then Aquatopia Water Park or a slow afternoon on white sand.
One last slow morning, a final beach walk, and a hearty breakfast before Phu Quoc International.
Ba Na Hills cheat sheet
The classic north-to-south route — culture in Hanoi, limestone karsts in Ha Long Bay, lantern-lit charm in Hoi An, and the energy of Ho Chi Minh City closing it out.
LANTERN BOATS ON THE THU BON RIVER, HOI AN
Explore the Old Quarter and take a peaceful walk around Hoan Kiem Lake.
Take an overnight cruise to see the limestone karsts rise straight out of the water.
Fly to Da Nang and spend time at the spacious My Khe Beach. Hoi An's Ancient Town is pedestrian-friendly and perfect for a slow wander.
Explore the vibrant city, then a day trip to the Mekong Delta for a gentle boat ride through coconut canals.
