2 (rating definition)
This trip travels to a relatively conservative area. We encourage you to experience the destination and culture with the following in mind:
<br /><br /><strong>Accommodation</strong> - We do not foresee any problems, however there may be occasions when a same sex couple may be asked to sleep in single beds rather than sharing a double. We appreciate your cooperation.
<br /><strong>Public Display of affection</strong> - These are frowned upon in this region among all travellers, not just those on an OUT Adventure. This includes holding hands in public.
<br /><strong>Gay Activities</strong> - This trip may not have specific gay hosted events, meals or day tours due to the cultural sensitivity of this region. We will do our best to provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and your fellow travellers to experience this culture.
<br /><strong>Please read the important notes & local dress section of the Trip Notes for more detailed information</strong>

Whiz through the streets on a cyclo, find a bargain at Ben Thanh Market or watch artisans at work in one of the many lacquerware workshops. A private tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels is a chance to imagine life as a Viet Cong soldier.
Indulge in a luxurious beach break by the beautiful South China Sea. There are five wonderful options to choose from at either Nha Trang, Quy Nhon or Hoi An.
Much of Hoi An looks exactly as it did a century ago and a walking tour includes the Japanese Covered Bridge, fish markets and traditional wooden buildings. This charming town retains a sense of history and the Old Town is a great place to while away an afternoon sipping cafe au lait and enjoying cao lau, the city's legendary noodle dish.
Cross the scenic Hai Van Pass to Hue, pausing at the Museum of Cham Sculpture and Lang Co fishing village. Take a boat trip on the Perfume River to visit Thien Mu Pagoda, the imperial Citadel and the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc.
Get a feel for this charming city on a private tour, followed by a cyclo ride through the Old Quarter. With its wide boulevards and yellow painted buildings, the city centre still retains an air of a French provincial town of the 1930s.
Jump aboard a traditional wooden junk and cruise magnificent Halong Bay. Spend a serene night on the boat among thousands of limestone islets.
Spend a final morning swimming or kayaking in the bay before visiting a ceramics village. Back in Hanoi, enjoy the beautiful lakes, shaded boulevards and lush public parks at leisure.

Trip Map
Most of our trips require a compulsory local payment, which is part of the contract with you (the customer) and OUT Adventures. This amount is the final payment for your trip and is to be paid in the specified currency, in cash to your leader upon arrival. The local payment is non-refundable, and is considered part of the total trip payment.
It is expensive to transfer funds to many countries - so by making a Local Payment you help us keep your costs low.
The Local Payment is used for paying for local services such as hotels and transport.
No, as the money is used to pay for local services these cannot be paid elsewhere.
