Vietnam has been known for the war. And now, this country is also known for a great place for trekking, kayaking and for some other adventure travel activities. Lotussia Travel are pleased to launch this summer one more multi activity adventure tour package which has been specially customized out for family.

This 18-day package includes all the Vietnam essential travel highlights such as trekking in Sapa, kayaking in Halong bay world wonder, then cycling around Mekong delta and finally enjoying leisure holidays on the Vietnam most charming beach, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet.

This is a good chance for foreign tourists to discover the real Vietnam, the country and its people in another way, active and different!

Halong bay, the most impressive highlight of world heritage sites covering 1,500 square km, with thousands of stony islands, which have got variety of different shapes, for instance: a sail, a fighting cock, a tortoise and tower and so on… Some are very high and others are only tens of meters higher than the surface of sea. Nothing is more excellent than self-kayaking across interstices and seeing the natural magic creation.

Another highlight is Sapa, the most impressive trekking destination in Vietnam, an incredibly picturesque village lying on the mountain chain Hoang Lien Son near the Chinese border in Northern West of Vietnam. Sapa is also the starting point for many climbers and scientists who would like to reach the top of Fansipan Mountain, the highest in Vietnam with the height of 3,143m as an interesting adventure or an extreme sport.
