Army Jeep Tour in Ho Chi Minh City

As one of Vietnam's main gateway cities, Ho Chi Minh City offers a wealth of attractions and activities, making it well worth visiting more than once. By taking a vintage open-air army jeep, you can zip through the streets and alleys, appreciating the unobstructed views of vibrant skylines and historic landmarks.

Starry Night on Con Dao Island

I have seen stars in many places: on mountaintops, in primitive villages, in deserts... but my favorite is on the beaches. During my visit to Con Dao Island, I witnessed a sky full of stars on a summer night, accompanied by the gentle sound of waves. The tranquility and beauty completely captivated me. This peaceful ambiance, combined with the island's pristine beaches and upscale accommodations, makes Con Dao Island an ideal destination for a luxury and leisure vacation.

Nha Trang, often referred to as the 'Pearl of the East Sea,' boasts some of the finest beaches in Southern Vietnam.

Cross-Border Cruise Through the Mekong River

Taking a 3 to 7 days cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia through the Mekong River is a cozy experience for those seeking a blend of culture, nature, and history. Your journey will cruise through the Mekong Delta and encounter the floating markets, traditional craft villages, and vivid riverside communities. Onboard, you'll enjoy local cuisine like Spring Roll, Pho, and Vietnamese coffee, of course. A Mekong cruise is more than a trip. It's a diverting immersion into the heart of Southeast Asia.

ATV Desert Adventure in Mui Ne

About 200km away from Ho Chi Minh City, there is a wonderful escape - Mui Ne. Young people always visit there to ride an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) through the vast, undulating sand dunes. Blending adventure and romance, this desert tour of the red and white sand dunes invites you to explore this exhilarating and vast landscape. I strongly suggest witnessing the breathtaking sunset, where the sky is ablaze with crimson and golden color.

Fish Sauce Factory Tour in Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc is not only a famous island in Southern Vietnam but also well-known for its fish sauce. With premium quality and rich flavor, Phu Quoc fish sauce is crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. During the tour, you will learn how a fish sauce is made from the fermentation of fresh anchovies to the meticulous bottling of the final product. Taste this traditional Vietnamese condiment, and you'll understand why Vietnamese cuisine is so renowned.

Cultural Indulgence in Ha Giang

Located in Northern Vietnam, Ha Giang is a new favorite of tourists. This place is famous for its adventurous loop. In fact, Ha Giang has not only a captivating landscape but also a singular culture. In this modern time, the villages in Ha Giang still keep the traditions of weaving, embroidery, and winemaking. When you visit the villages and communicate with local people, you will find the long-lost inner peace from them. Maybe that's what we are looking for in a tour.

Dragon Boat Tour in Hue

Hue is a hidden gem of Vietnam. If you haven't been there on your last trip, be sure to include it this time. Besides the Forbidden Purple City and Imperial Citadel, Perfume River is also a must! Take a dragon boat in the late afternoon and early evening, while enjoying Hue's traditional court music. This one-hour tour, led by a private Odynovo guide, highlights the poetic landscapes and breathtaking sunsets along the riverbanks. Romantic dinners are also available on the cruise. If you are traveling with your beloved, tell your travel expert to arrange this in advance.

Cycling in Ninh Binh

What could be more relaxing than cycling in the countryside? I will highly recommend you pedal through the picturesque rice paddies, fruit orchards, limestone karsts, and quaint villages at your own pace in Ninh Binh. A private tour allows you to soak in the serene atmosphere and capture the perfect photos anytime during cycling. Whether you are a nature lover or simply seeking leisure time in Vietnam, biking in Ninh Binh offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle.
