Want to capture it all in one go? Our Ultimate Vietnam Photography Experience is for cultural adventurers who plan to see and shoot the best of this amazing country in a single, epic adventure.

Our Ultimate Vietnam Photography Adventure journey begins in Saigon, with photographic explorations of Vietnam’s bustling commercial capital. We’ll wander the alleyways of Chinatown and vintage apartment complexes, mixing with the locals while we capture dynamic street shots. In the Mekong Delta, we’ll cruise the lush-leaved canals of Tra Su Cajuput forest by longboat, and mix with the busy traders at Long Xuyen floating market.

Heading north, we stop by the ancient town of Hoi An to photograph local fishermen working with their nets and basket boats, before a breathtaking trip over the coastal Hai Van Pass. From Hue, we travel north on the Reunification Express to Ninh Binh, a province of mesmerizing landscapes and hand-crafted silk, ceramics and incense. Arriving in the capital Hanoi, we’ll experience and document authentic daily life, from the Old Quarter to ‘train street’, to the atmospheric Long Bien night market.

Our journey culminates with an adventure into spectacular Ha Giang province for a close encounter with the colorful hill tribes of the far north. We’ll enjoy the hospitality and music of our Red Dzao hosts, and spend a thrilling morning at Meo Vac tribal market, where villagers converge from afar to buy, barter and catch up with old friends. It all makes for an incredible photographic adventure, experiencing and capturing this diverse and fascinating country from south to north.

We take an initial holding deposit of $500 per person, which is non-refundable, unless Vietnam in Focus calls off the trip.

The remainder is due at least 3 months in advance of the departure date. This is also our latest date to confirm tour departure at this point, and guests can go ahead and book flights.

In the event that we have our minimum number of guests booked in for the tour earlier than 3 months before departure, we will confirm the tour, and guests are free to book their flights.

Your initial $500 reservation deposit is non-refundable, except in the event that Vietnam in Focus cancels the trip. The deposit can however be put towards a future trip with Vietnam in Focus.

If you cancel your booking with us, our cancellation policy includes the following fees and cut-off periods:

If canceling 90 to 61 days before departure, the guest is liable for 25% of the trip cost.
