Vietnam Tour

Visit the real Vietnam

capture spectacular images

Salt fields, waterfalls, lakes, sunrises and sunsets, elephants, tribes, fishing villages, markets and so much more. Whether you are passionate about street photography, landscapes or portraits, there is something in Vietnam for everyone. With only 6 guests per tour, our expert guide, Loc, will have plenty of time to offer individual help and advice. It does not matter if you are a seasoned professional or a beginner with a camera just out of the box, all levels are welcome. Your camera equipment will not limit what you do on your trip. You can still create beautiful photos with a basic point-and-shoot, latest DSLR, or camera phone — it is the person behind the lens that matters not the equipment! Loc will be able to guide you to get the best images with whatever camera you have.

Day 1 - Hon Khoi, Salt Fields

The tour starts at 7am from Nha Trang. 

Our first port of call is a busy fishing village. There will be plenty of activity and the vibrant colors provides the perfect backdrop to begin our adventure. Along the coast is a shipyard where boats are built and repaired. You can also capture the women repairing the nets and other local activities.

Lunch will be served in Nha Trang before we depart for the salt fields in Hon Khoi. There will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way at another fishing village.

The sunset photos at the salt fields are sure to be one of the highlights of your trip. You will also have the chance to capture the local women wearing the traditional hats and carrying baskets full of salt over their shoulders.

Day 2 - Ninh Hoa, Lak Lake

An early start to return to the salt fields for sunrise. With both the sunrise and sunset, you are bound to capture truly stunning photos of the landscape and women at work.

Breakfast will be served at the hotel before departing for Lak Lake. On the way we will stop at a brick factory and coffee plantations.

Once we arrive at Jun village, we will take a walk around the village which is home to the M’nong tribe and their elephants. The evening will find us at the edge of the lake for sunset. Lak Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the central highlands of Vietnam.

Day 3 -  Buon Me Thuot

Another early start, this time for the sunrise over the lake. This is optional as you may wish to stay in bed. After breakfast, you will have more time to relax or walk around the village for candid photos.

We then head to Buon Me Thuot city for lunch.

Our next stop is the magnificent rain forest at Draysap and the Draynu waterfalls. The waterfalls are 250 meters long and 30 meters high. The waterfalls are a great opportunity to take some amazing long exposure shots, so bring your ND filter if you have one.

Day 4 - Kontum

After a leisurely breakfast, we will depart to Kontum. During our journey, we will stop at a rubber plantation and have lunch in Pleiku city. We will arrive at Kontum around 3.30pm. There many interesting landmarks around Kontum, including a wooden bridge that was built by the French in 1913. We will also have the opportunity to experience and absorb the local culture with a visit to the villagers of the Baba tribe in their communal house.

Day 5 - Kham Duc

After breakfast we depart for Kham Duc. This scenic drive along the Ho Chi Minh trail takes us through Bana villages, past a suspension bridge built by the locals, and through some truly beautiful countryside, including a rainforest. There will be an plenty of moments to capture incredible photos.
