During your free time on the island, we leave you free to relax, but we can certainly arrange excursions to the nearby small islands. These are typically group excursions with English-speaking guides/instructors. You can also inquire with the hotel about these excursions.
We engage in hikes of an easy to moderate level, lasting from 3 to 5 hours. However, the duration and difficulty of the hikes depend on your health condition. This private program can be customized on-site.
We do not include international flights in our travel packages for economic reasons. Indeed, the cost of international tickets would be more expensive if we were to arrange them from Vietnam. Although unusual, this is the pricing policy applied by airlines. Therefore, airfares tend to be cheaper if purchased from the country of departure. We can provide advice on this if needed.
