Why Local Vietnam Is Great for Family Travel

We Plan Family Trips Daily — and Travel With Our Own Children

We’ve spent years creating family itineraries for all ages, and several members of our team travel with their own children — from babies to teenagers. This gives us a clear understanding of what works in real life: suitable hiking distances, kid-friendly activities, safe routes and realistic travel times.

Strong Experience With Multi-Generational and Mixed-Age Trips

Whether you’re traveling with young kids, teens, grandparents or a combination, we know how to design days that keep everyone happy.

Family travel requires smooth logistics. We work only with trusted drivers, family-friendly guides and accommodations that understand the needs of families. Our team is local and available 24/7, so you always have support if plans need to change or extra help is needed.

Best Things to Do on a Vietnam Family Holiday

A Vietnam family holiday is full of fun, culture and gentle outdoor activities that work well for children of all ages. These experiences are easy to customise by age group, travel style and comfort level — making Vietnam one of Asia’s best destinations for a relaxed family trip.

1. Easy Cycling Through Rice Fields and Villages

Routes in Ninh Binh, Hoi An, Mai Chau and Pu Luong are flat, safe and perfect for families. Kids enjoy the open scenery, animals and friendly local villages along the way.

2. Boat Trips in Ninh Binh or the Mekong Delta

Calm boat rides are ideal for all ages, offering beautiful views without long walking distances. They’re a classic highlight of any Vietnam family holiday package.

3. Kayaking and Swimming in Lan Ha Bay

Lan Ha Bay is quieter and cleaner than Ha Long Bay, making it great for families. Kayaking is relaxed, the waters are calm, and cruises often have family cabins.

4. Cooking Classes for All Ages

Kids love learning to roll spring rolls, visit local markets, and cook simple Vietnamese dishes. Cooking classes are safe, hands-on and perfect for family bonding.

5. Water Puppet Shows in Hanoi

A fun cultural experience that works for children and adults. Shows are short, entertaining, and a classic start to any Vietnam family holiday.

6. Riding the Overnight Train to Sapa

The night train is exciting for kids and nostalgic for adults. It’s a safe and memorable way to travel north while combining adventure with comfort.

7. Light Trekking Through Sapa or Mai Chau

Easy, short-distance trekking routes allow families to enjoy rice fields, ethnic villages and cool mountain air without difficult climbs.

8. Visiting Local Markets

Colorful mountain markets introduce children to new cultures and traditional lifestyles. They’re fascinating for teens and educational for younger kids.

9. Beach Days in Hoi An or Phu Quoc

Quiet beaches, gentle waves and short travel distances make both destinations ideal for families. Resort stays are easy to combine with cultural experiences.

10. Hands-On Activities With Local Communities

Farming, craft workshops, fishing and simple village games give families meaningful cultural moments. These activities fit perfectly into a private Vietnam family holiday itinerary.

Fantastic two-week trip, perfectly organized
I traveled with my two sons for just over two weeks through Vietnam, organized by Local Vietnam. Everything was flawless — great hotels, smooth logistics, and daily updates about pickup times and details. The preparation phase was clear and professional, and the whole trip felt perfectly arranged. The team is knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences. We couldn’t have been happier with how it all went.

Beautiful trip through northern Vietnam
We had a wonderful experience traveling through North Vietnam, organized by Linh and Tra. Every wish was discussed and customized in our itinerary. Even when a typhoon disrupted the schedule, they immediately found great solutions. We traveled with local guides and drivers, gaining insight into rural life and even sharing meals with local families. Every hotel and homestay was carefully selected. Thanks to Local Vietnam, we enjoyed an authentic, worry-free journey.
Jan V – Netherlands
Close to local life with Local Vietnam
We just returned from a fantastic trip through North Vietnam, designed together with Local Vietnam. Everything was flexible — we added extra nights and changed hotels easily. Each day, Tra sent WhatsApp updates about the next day’s plans, guides, and drivers. We met wonderful locals who shared their stories and culture with pride. A truly personal and authentic way to discover Vietnam — highly recommended for anyone seeking real connections while traveling.

Absolutely recommended!
We just returned from a three-week trip through northern and central Vietnam filled with culture, nature, and great food. Local Vietnam tailored everything to our preferences and provided perfect communication before and during the trip. Daily WhatsApp updates, on-time pickups, and helpful local guides made everything smooth. We loved how they worked with small local businesses and homestays so the community benefits directly. An outstanding experience from start to finish.
Derk – Netherlands
A fantastic, worry-free journey through North Vietnam.
We booked a nearly 3-week custom trip through North Vietnam with Local Vietnam, and everything went perfectly. Linh responded quickly to every question, and Tra stayed in touch daily during the trip via WhatsApp. Even when our visa documents were wrong on arrival, Tra fixed it within an hour! Most tours were private, the guides were great, and changes during the trip were handled smoothly. It was our first time booking with an agency — and Local Vietnam exceeded all expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vietnam Family Holidays

You start by telling us your travel dates, children’s ages, preferred pace, and the kinds of activities your family enjoys. We create a first proposal based on this. You can adjust anything — number of destinations, hotel choices, activities, or the level of comfort. We refine the itinerary until it suits your family’s interests, energy levels, and daily rhythm.

Yes — Vietnam is one of the safest countries in Asia for families. Crime rates are low, people are welcoming toward children, and major travel destinations are easy to navigate. We select child-friendly accommodations, private drivers, and vetted partners so your family can travel comfortably. Food, hygiene, and healthcare are also generally reliable in all main tourist regions.

Vietnam is a year-round destination, but the ideal time depends on your route.

The north is nicest from September to May, central Vietnam has great beach weather from March to August, and the south is enjoyable throughout the year. Because families often prefer stable weather and easy travel days, we design your itinerary around the season to make everything smooth and comfortable.

Most activities can be adapted for families. Trekking routes can be kept short and gentle, cruises in Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay are calm and suitable for all ages, and countryside cycling or boat rides can be made completely safe and comfortable. Everything is private and adjustable, so you can choose the level of activity that works for your children.

Costs depend on route, travel dates, and accommodation preferences. A private family holiday usually ranges from mid-range to premium, depending on whether you choose boutique hotels, higher-end resorts, or family suites. We give clear pricing in your proposal, and you can always adjust hotels or activities to match your budget.

For popular months (December–April and July–August), it’s best to book three to six months in advance, especially if you want family rooms, connecting rooms, or specific resorts. Outside peak periods, one to three months is usually enough. Early planning gives more choice and better availability for family-friendly accommodation.
