Dreamy Family Tour of Southeast Asia’s Coasts and Culture

Phuket is an illustrious island that is globally celebrated for its charming character and diverse landscape. Upon your arrival, a private driver will greet you and transfer you to your accommodation. After settling in, you will have the afternoon to soak up the scenes and appreciate the mesmerizing stretch of the Andaman Sea. You and your family will also step aboard a restored wooden junk boat and set sail for Phang Nga Bay. Should you want to witness more of the bay, you can jump into kayaks before you return to your accommodation.

Part of Phuket’s appeal stems from the island paradises that are situated just beyond the borders of its shorelines. You will visit one of these castaway gems today. After breakfast, you will set sail for Koh Yao Noi. In Koh Yao Noi, you will have the option to dive alongside experienced instructors or to snorkel on the surface. With one last evening to enjoy Phuket’s unforgettable vistas, you will transfer to the southernmost point of the island to witness a sunset unlike any other from the vantage point of the hills of Promthep Cape.

In the morning, you will fly to Preah Sihanouk, Cambodia. Preah Sihanouk is a flourishing cultural destination that you will explore once you are comfortable and ready for a guided tour of the city. Your tour will first lead you to the steps of Wat Leu Temple. Afterward, your tour will continue to a selection of museums and monuments, including the Koh Kong Bridge and the Independence Monument. The bridge is a phenomenal architectural feat that serves as a gateway to Thailand from Cambodia. You will conclude your expedition at the landscaped gardens of Independence Park.

You and your family will spend the day appreciating the endless activities that Preah Sihanouk has to offer. The choice will be yours, and you will have a variety of activities and experiences from which to choose, such as diving trips off the Cambodian coast or immersing yourselves in the culinary culture. This evening, you may choose to transfer to a cooking school headed up by a beloved Cambodian chef for a cooking class. Your award-winning chef will walk you through the steps of crafting intricate dishes.

Today you will spend the day in Vietnam’s capital of Hanoi. After landing at the airport and transferring to your accommodation, you will have some time to relax before departing on an immersive tour of the city. From war monuments to moments of cultural celebration, your tour through the city will lead you to Hanoi’s treasured landmarks, such as the Vietnam Military Museum and the Hanoi Citadel. The evening will be yours to enjoy at your leisure. No matter what you decide, the flavors of Vietnam cuisine will come to life on your first evening in the country.

After breakfast this morning, you will transfer to Ha Long Bay. Tonight, you will board an overnight cruise and set sail across the sea.  During your cruise, you will be treated to lovely suites, sun-washed decks, and gourmet cuisine. The ship will depart for the velvety sands of hideaway island beaches, where few others have had the luxury to visit. Here, you can climb into a kayak and glide across the sea to hidden lagoons. Your afternoon will bring you closer to the local Vietnamese way of life as you visit with residents. Dinner will be served alongside a panoramic view of the seascape.

Your voyage across the staggering seas of Ha Long Bay will lead you back to where you first boarded the boat. Then, you will transfer back to Hanoi. With an hour or so to unwind before you venture to the airport, you can spend your final moments at one of Hanoi’s exemplary cafes. Shortly after, you will have to transfer to the airport to connect with your departing flight.
