Nine Ways To Better Vietnam Backpacking Tour Guides Without Breaking A Sweat

You will reach camp around 2 - 3 pm. Visit Nha Trang and its amazing beaches, beach time! We booked through our hotel but there are several other tourist offices around the city where you can book it also. On the way back to the city you have the opportunity to go to the shooting range to try out the M1. This is not included in the tour but costs about $20 for 10 shots.

Mui Ne is an emerging beach resort town located along a 10k coastal strip. The staff were so friendly so I would be very happy to recommend this place based on our experience. It was our first time visiting any type of desert/sand dunes so I was so excited to go here.

Still good craic though for 80cent, you can't go wrong. The men catch the fish here early in the morning and the women sort through everything to sell. There is a hostel there called Long Son where you can stay in tents on the beach.

After a lot of near death experiences and cliff edges we made it alive. The day consisted of ab-sailing down cliff edges, sliding down waterfalls and cliff jumping. Lunch was also included so that's always a plus.

The drive alone was something to experience. ‘An Café' was right across from our hostel and had the most impressive set up ever. This took 15 hours… yes 15, and cost $15 each.

Despite being told that every bus has a stopover during the night, we got a direct bus. A beautiful ancient town that boasts grand architecture, an idyllic riverside setting and an atmosphere you cannot beat. The streets are pedestrianised and sometimes requires a ticket to enter.

Just walking through the streets of the old town is charming. All lit up with the famous colourful lanterns, just so gorgeous. Hoi An is also known as the tailoring capital of the world.

Darragh got a suit made and I got some work clothes made. We were very happy with the finished product, the staff were brilliant and so professional. I also got a pair of Birkenstock's made for $12!!

I was thrilled with life haha. Most people just use it as a stopover point to get to Hanoi or Hoi An, depending on which direction you are going. ‘Ho Thuy Tie' is located about a 20 minute drive from Hue city and is easily accessed by tourists.

The park shut its doors just two years later. It's extremely eerie and has a strong apocalyptic feel to it. Talk of the park has been passed through the backpacker grapevine and is now a rite of passage to visit when in Hue. A walled palace reserved solely vietnam awesome travel (www.vietnam-travel.org) for the purpose of the emperor before being destroyed in the war.

As regards where to eat in Hue, head to Pham Ngu Lao street (where DMZ hostel is if you can't find it). The next day we got the sleeper bus to Hanoi.
