Remote Escapes Sapa, set in the "Tonkinese Alps" high long Vietnam's northern border and Luang Prabang are home to a multitude of hilltribes and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Southeast Asia. Options for boating, kayaking, cycling and trekking.	Arts Vietnamese art has become popular internationally and many native artists have successfully presented their works in overseas galleries and exhibitions. During this period of rebuilding, the art industry in Vietnam presents a wonderful opportunity to access artists on a very personal level.	Halong Bay Cruise and kayak on the calm, emerald waters through caves into hidden lakes and white-sand beach coves — your small kayak gliding beneath the towering limestone peaks. The calm waters are great for beginners. We operate the finest trips on the bay.


The People The most exceptional aspect of travel in the region are the people along the way. We plan (and allow for not-so-planned) personal encounters, shared meals, even home stays.	Idyllic Coast Mui Ne, Cua Dai, Phu Quoc, Ngapali, Nha Trang — these are only a few beaches wonderful for relaxing, but there is also rugged, unspoiled coastal scenery as picturesque as Big Sur.	Vivid Landscapes A dozen shades of green at every turn. In Vietnam, rice fields fronting over a thousand miles of coastline.


Magnificent Accommodation Vietnam has caught up quickly. Most hotels are newly remodeled or built — including the world-class Ana Mandara in Nha Trang (above).	Exceptional Cuisine A region where Refrigerators are few, everything is fresh from the field and the ocean. With a wide variety of regional specialties, traditional and new.	High Adventure We were the first to organize kayaking,cycling, trekking trips in Vietnam and Myanmar. Popular family cycling and kayaking trips to Vietnam or a group of friends looking for a unique outdoors escape.


Amazing Cities Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore all offer options for interesting stopovers before or after your travels. We can point you to the more atypical and fascinating interests.	Incredible Sites UNESCO World Heritage sites abound: Angkor, Ayutthaya, Bagan, Luang Prabang, and many more. See them unhurried without the crowds.	Post-tour "R & R" Your trip completed, a well-deserved rest is order. Perhaps a side-trip to Phuket (above) or other nearby islands to recover before returning home.
