"Liddy Says"

"This trip includes the highlights of both Vietnam and Cambodia in just two weeks. Children will really enjoy the temples of Angkor Wat, where there are endless hidden nooks and crannies waiting to be explored. Another highlight is the night spent on a boat in the gorgeous surroundings of Halong Bay."

With beaches, temples, markets and ancient sites, Indochina has everything needed for an exotic family adventure. Travel from Hanoi to Siem Reap by plane, boat, train and elephant, meeting and making local friends along the way. Cruise Halong Bay, discover the buzz of Ho Chi Minh City, sample traditional cuisine and discover the mysterious temples of Angkor Wat. This is one journey where the kids won't be asking, 'Are we there yet?'Our Intrepid Family Adventures are designed specifically for the spirited family. We understand that travelling with kids sometimes requires a slightly different perspective. Keeping this in mind, we travel at a slower speed - recognising that showing your family around our exotic destinations can take time. By travelling at a relaxed pace, while still offering plenty of optional activities along the way, we're providing your family with the ultimate travel experience together.We limit travel times so that you're usually not on transport for more than seven hours or travelling too long after dark. We also try - where possible - to ensure you have at least two nights in each destination so you are not constantly having to unpack those bags. Accommodation is chosen carefully to ensure your family gets the best of both worlds, with some of the creature comforts of home as well as experiencing accommodation unique to the region you are travelling through. Wherever possible you will stay in hotels with small comforts to make your stay more enjoyable - such as restaurants nearby, or accommodation with a pool. On some trips you may even find your family being rocked to sleep on an overnight sleeper train or drifting off while camped out under a canopy of stars - and we reckon it'll be these experiences the kids will love and remember the most. Best of all, we find trips with children are so successful because kids have such a special ability to break down barriers with their natural curiosity, and because delighted locals always greet them with much affection. For all these reasons and more, you'll discover that Intrepid Family Adventures are an amazing experience for all.
