What's this trip about?

    Get ready to experience the best of what Vietnam has while getting you off the beaten track and immersed in local life. Discover unseen parts of the vibrant cities, take a crash course lesson in their national sport, help local NGOs create a better future, and explore all the sights, smells, and tastes of this incredible destination. From village homestays in the remote Pu Long National Park, to having cocktails in the rooftop pool overlooking vibrant cities, or exploring the lesser-known Bai Tu Long Bay on the tip of Ha Long Bay by traditional style boat. This is Vietnam, but not as you know it.

adventurous individuals. These are no ordinary group tours. We don't herd our guests from one crowded photo opportunity to another. We give them something different to the norm while making a positive impact on the communities we visit, and on the environment.

One Life is for adventure-seekers, backpackers, or anyone looking to experience some of the most beautiful and culturally rich travel destinations in the world. We all have One Life and One Planet, it’s time to embrace both.
