A pho-nomenal adventure.
Sawasdee! Are you seeking an experience that is pho-nomenal? We think Vietnam is one of the most unforgettable Asian destinations on the planet - from Hoi An in the north to Ho Chi Minh in the south, Vietnam is one of the world’s most colourful countries.
Whether you want to cruise along the Mekong Delta, trek through the rice terraces of Sapa, or enjoy the beaches of Nha Trang, our Vietnam travel specilaiasts can help you create your dream Vietnam adventure.
Best time to go.
The best time to visit Vietnam is from November to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. This period is ideal for exploring the country from north to south.
Time difference.
Vietnam is 5 hours behind New Zealand. The time difference is manageable, but you might need a day or two to fully adjust

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that.
What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life?
My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.
