Our new launch: Authentic Adventures – Five 8-day Guaranteed Departure Tours

In a world where travel is often rushed and crowded, a powerful desire is rising — to truly connect with the places we visit. Not just ticking off landmarks or snapping pictures, but experiencing something deeper: culture, people, and emotion. This is the essence of Authentic Adventures.

AUTHENTIC ADVENTURES – TRAVEL NOT JUST TO SEE, BUT TO UNDERSTAND

This brand-new offering from Vivu Journeys in 2025 invites you to explore Vietnam on a 7-day journey with small group departures. These itineraries focus on slow travel, cultural depth, and meaningful moments — far from the noise of mass tourism.

Each route is crafted for you to not just observe but to listen, feel, and connect. Share stories with locals, savour a humble village meal, walk forest trails or sit quietly by a river — every experience is designed to reveal the soul of Vietnam.

5 ROUTES – 5 UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES OF VIETNAM

• Hanoi to Hoi An
  Begin in the capital’s timeless charm, cruise through majestic Halong Bay, explore poetic Ninh Binh and Hue’s ancient beauty — all ending under Hoi An’s glowing lanterns. A journey where nature and heritage blend effortlessly.
• Hoi An to Hanoi
  Travelling northbound, this route winds through Central Vietnam’s postcard-perfect coastlines, into the cultural heart of the highlands, ending in Hanoi — where a thousand years of history await.
• Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City
  A coastal journey through Vietnam’s soul. From ancient Cham towers to Mui Ne’s fiery dunes, from artisanal villages to seaside vineyards — each stop is infused with local character and flavour.
• Ho Chi Minh City to Hoi An
  Start from Saigon’s vibrant pulse, detour through hidden gems — seaside mural villages, natural rock formations, winding mountain passes — and arrive in Hoi An’s serene embrace.
• Ho Chi Minh City & the Mekong Delta
  For the slow travellers at heart: drift past bustling floating markets, cycle country lanes, explore cajeput forests, and learn home-style cooking. Gentle yet unforgettable, this is the Delta as few see it.

• Solo travellers looking for safety, freedom, and connection
• Couples and friends wanting space to breathe and share
