Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers! Find common queries about our adventure programs.

Test Despite of the fact that Vietnamese government attempts to outlaw the practice, the US Dollars still acts as an alternative currency which is almost completely interchangeable with Vietnam Dong. Many prices, especially for hotels, tours and expensive restaurants, are still quoted in USD, though you can pay in dong if you’d rather - just check what exchange rate they’re using.

For everyday expenses, we recommend you carry a mix of US Dollars cash and Vietnam Dong. For larger items or when the exchange rate works in your favour, use dollars. For cyclos, local food stalls and small purchases, it’s best to use Vietnam Dong. In either case, make sure you always have a stock of small notes so that there is no need to worry about change.

The short answer is, there's never a bad time to visit Vietnam! Not all seasons are created
equal though and there are pros and cons to each.
March - April is typically the best season in terms of weather to visit Vietnam. Expect sun, mild
temperatures and limited rain! This also means busy season, so make sure to book in advance
if you plan to visit during these months.
May - August is the hotter times of the year in Vietnam and also the
rainier season. Don't be too scared of the rain though! It typically only lasts an hour or two
per day, if that. This rarely disrupts travel or our tours and you get to enjoy warmer weather.
September - November are a secret gem of a time to visit Vietnam. The temperature
becomes more moderate than the summer, rain stops, and the conditions are perfect
for trekking or motorcycle trips. This is also when Full Moon Celebrations happen
in Vietnam, so it's a particularly festive season to experience Vietnamese culture.
December - February are the coldest months in Vietnam. During these months
you may prefer to visit the southern parts of Vietnam which are warmer, and we have many tours that operate there!

Absolutely! If you and your friends are looking for a private, one-of-a-kind adventure, we’ll design a trip just for

your group. Share your travel ideas with us through ourTailor Made Tour form or message us on

WhatsApp (+84 962913811), and together we’ll create an itinerary that perfectly matches your interests, pace, and style.

Yes, solo travelers are more than welcome to join our scheduled group tours. We operate group departures every month. Simply contact us to check the upcoming dates, and we’ll be happy to arrange for you to join a suitable group.

No, there are no hidden costs/fees. The price we agree on is the price you pay.
There are certain things that are not included in some trips, like alcohol, souvenirs, etc. All of our trip
pages show very clear "Trip Inclusions" and "Trip Exclusions" so you know exactly what you're paying
for and what is optional.
Tipping is always optional, but very appreciated. If your guides worked hard for you and your
experience was great, feel free to show them!
