Southern Vietnam

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Southern Vietnam is a diverse region anchored by Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the country's largest and most dynamic metropolis, known for its French colonial architecture, war history museums, and buzzing street food scene. The region stretches south into the Mekong Delta, a vast network of rivers, floating markets, and rice paddies that offer a glimpse into traditional rural Vietnamese life. Coastal areas and islands like Phú Quốc draw travellers for their white-sand beaches and snorkelling. Whether exploring bustling urban neighbourhoods, cruising delta waterways, or unwinding on tropical shores, Southern Vietnam appeals to backpackers, culture seekers, and adventure travellers alike.

South of Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong, Da Lat & Nha Trang — Self-Launched

A DIY version of Bravo Indochina Tours' 8-day southern Vietnam loop — Saigon street food and history, a Mekong Delta boat day, the cool highland town of Da Lat, and beach time in Nha Trang — using hostel/guesthouse stays and local transport instead of a guided minibus package. Public buses, the sleeper train and self-booked day tours cover everything the group tour includes, at roughly a third of the price. Costs are approximate backpacker/budget-traveller estimates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southern Vietnam yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
