Indochina Essence by Exotic Voyages
AMAZING from start to finish!
It was such a pleasure to work with Annie from start to finish. Annie worked patiently with my very particular husband for a good month to plan a 19 day trip. (I think they bonded) We visited Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. EVERY luxury hotel was just over the top beautiful. We took airplanes, 2 cruise boats, and a sea airplane to visit each country. There was always a knowledgeable and interesting English speaking guide to pick us up. She planned interesting tours and gave us plenty of leisure time. She also texted us everyday to see how we were doing! At one stop we wanted to change a tour planned for another and she managed to do that as well......Annie actually met us in Hanoi and we enjoyed a dinner together at one of her favorite restaurants, then took me shopping for a silk dress....really! Thank you Annie for the best trip ever. I will highly recommend you and Exotic Voyages.

Amazing Taste of Vietnam by Exotic Voyages
Epic Trip!!!!
We did not experience a single hitch in our trip and when we created our own hitches - Kien Nguyen Hoang and the guides created fantastic solutions for us. Kien was wonderful to work with on the front end helping us; plan, stay on task and answering all of our questions. We felt that we were in very good hands and he continued to check in thru out the trip making sure we were happy with everything. From the accommodations, tour guides and tours to the incredible food, we could not have asked for anything more. It was a very stress free experience. I have a shrimp/lobster allergy and they were on it the entire trip. We called it the Food Tour of Vietnam. We loved our guides and all of the top-notch "private" experiences. I would use Exotic Voyages and especially Kien again!

Practicalities & Logistics

Why go on a guided nature tour?

Depending on where you’re traveling, there is a good chance there will be little to no cell reception. Trying to connect to your GPS or internet if you get lost without cell service is a frustrating and nerve wracking experience. If you’re going to a new country, it can be difficult to navigate remote trails or national parks, especially if you don’t speak the language.

This should in no way discourage you from getting out in nature during your travels, but why go through all the stress when you can go on a guided nature tour? Tour guides are out nearly every day, so they know the land, allowing you to just have fun without trying to navigate by yourself. Tour guides may also know unusual and interesting facts about the area that will help connect your nature experience to the local community, culture, and heritage. And they’ll often know of secret viewing or picnic spots that the average traveler would not know about. A guided nature tour can keep you safe and stress free, allowing for the best possible travel experience.

Proper National Park Behavior

When going to a National Park, it’s crucial to behave properly.

Here are some helpful National Park travel tips:

  • First and foremost, clean up after yourself! Throw your trash away in appropriate places. If there is nowhere to dispose of your trash, find a bag to keep the trash in until you can properly dispose of it.
  • When animals are involved, do not disturb them. Stay back, and pay attention to all signs regarding behavior around animals. This is for your safety. Do not cross fences, and don’t try to pet animals.
  • Stay on routes that posted. Don’t cross into unknown territories.
  • Do not remove items (especially plants!) from the park.
  • Be as quiet as possible. Animals startle when they hear loud noises, so by remaining quiet, you’re more likely to see animals.
