Picture this: you’re 30,000 feet in the air, looking out of the aeroplane window at blue skies, heading for the trip of a lifetime – just you, your backpack and endless opportunities. There’s nowhere quite like Vietnam for solo travel. It’s a country known for its variety – from bustling cities and fascinating history to picture-perfect white sand beaches, Vietnam has it all. Foodies must try a Bahn Mi, possibly the world’s most famous sandwich (and for good reason) or a bowl of Bun Cha, which is almost like a deconstructed Pho (rumour has it it’s Barack Obama’s favourite). Adventurers can head north to hike through the rice paddies of Sapa, or hire your very own two-wheeled tour guide and ride the stunning Ha Giang loop on motorbike. For something a little different, crawl through the Chu Chi tunnels, an underground labyrinth built to hide from American soldiers during the war. However you spend your Vietnam solo travel adventure, let us take the reins and so you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the freedom of solo travel and the peace of mind of an itinerary planned by the experts.

Vietnam Solo Travel with Original Travel

Although travelling solo is always fun, planning solo travel can be a real headache. Our team of experts know all there is to know about Vietnam solo travel, so here are just a few of the many adventures you might have on your tailor-made Vietnam solo travel itinerary:


Sapa

The beautiful rice paddies you might associate with Vietnam are in abundance here. One of the best ways to explore them is on foot, and we can arrange the perfect hike for you with your own private guide.


Hanoi

A bright, bustling and exciting city, Hanoi is rich with culture and the perfect place to try out some of the local food favourites.


Halong Bay

Known for its stunning beaches and unique emerald waters, Halong Bay is an oasis of calm. You can head out on a quick kayak trip or escape for several days by boat. And if you’re more of a party person, we can sort a fun-packed group trip with your fellow solo travellers.


Hoi An

A quaint and picturesque town with a river at its centre, Hoi An is famous for something you might not expect: tailoring. People from around the globe flock to Hoi An for cheap, high quality, custom-made suits and outfits for special occasions.


Mekong Delta

Not far from Ho Chi Minh City, you’ll find the maze of rivers that make up the Mekong Delta. Drift down the Delta by boat and pick up a beer and some local delicacies from a floating market along the way.
