What are Soft Adventures?
Some challenges here and there can turn your Vietnam vacation story into one of your best tales. At Asia Highlights, features of soft adventures are:
Relatively low physical requirements and low intensity
Suitable for people in common physical condition; mostly less than three days in a row, such as 1-day trekking in Sapa or boat tours in the Mekong Delta, which are suitable and workable for almost all ages, and simple since we provide the gear and competent tour guides.
Non-traditional trails/operations in traditional destinations
Instead of taking a private car, you bike into the villages on an island of the Mekong Delta or paddle your kayak through misty limestone caves in Halong Bay. Instead if spending a whole morning or afternoon on the boat, a different alternative can unexpectedly spice up your journey.
Get closer to nature and local people
Get underneath the lifestyle of local people by encountering them at their own home villages; enjoy great natural beauty with some mild physical activities. You are offered chances to be invited to the homes of local people for dinner or stay the night at a homestay.
Great opportunity for active travelers or families with children
Are you looking for new experiences, or don't want to be stuck in the car? Soft adventures provide you with new insight in the country and people; professional tour guides and delicate tour planning set you free from hassles; and safety is the top priority.
Top Soft Adventures in Vietnam
Ready to plan your own soft adventure journey in Vietnam, but don't know where to start? We list some top soft adventures for your inspiration below:
Biking in Vietnam
Sharing a lane with hundreds of motorbikes in a busy city in Vietnam may sound hellish and challenging, but you can still pedal your bike in a relatively calmer and more bike-friendly city. You could stroll around villages in Hoi An or explore the quieter parts of Hanoi.
Boating in Vietnam
Crocheted by rivers and rivulets, southwestern Vietnam is where vibrant riverside life will take you to another level of boating adventure. Sit on top of the sampan and float through rivers of the Mekong Delta; reach the local villages, visit floating markets and restaurants just by boat.
Soft Trekking in Vietnam
From north to south, mountainous Vietnam offers spellbinding nature and challenge. Fansipan Mountain is the highest mountain yet the most popular spot for trekking.
Though soft trekking may require mild physical preparation, we can arrange it to match your preferred pace. One or two days of soft trekking to Sapa local tribe village is one of the must-try-experiences in Vietnam. Read More…
