Honeymoon in Vietnam

Carbon Reductions

Our commitment to reducing carbon emissions is central to this journey across Vietnam, taking advantage of sustainable travel methods and practices wherever possible. We encourage the use of shared car transfers instead of private options for certain segments, such as the Hanoi to Ha Long Bay journey, to minimize the carbon footprint. During the Halong Bay cruise, energy-efficient practices are in place onboard, such as eco-friendly fuel usage and strict waste management protocols. Additionally, the cruise line adheres to limited-speed cruising policies, reducing fuel consumption while allowing travelers to experience the Bay at an ideal, eco-conscious pace. Many hotel options, particularly in eco-minded destinations like Nha Trang, are selected for their green practices. From solar-powered energy systems to low-waste restaurants and recycling initiatives, the tour itinerary prioritizes establishments committed to reducing environmental impacts.

Environment and Wildlife

This Vietnam journey respects and celebrates the diverse ecosystems encountered along the way, from the tranquil beaches of Nha Trang to the lush natural reserves of Ha Long Bay. In Halong Bay, the Orchid Trendy Cruise offers a unique exploration of Lan Ha Bay, a less-traveled, ecologically sensitive area. Here, tourists learn about preservation efforts for the karst landscapes and the local marine life, fostering awareness of the region’s environmental importance. In Nha Trang, optional diving activities include sessions with certified centres prioritising sustainable dive practices to minimise disruption to coral reefs and marine habitats. Throughout the trip, guides emphasise responsible tourism, encouraging guests to avoid plastic waste, and respect local flora and fauna. These practices, combined with guided discussions on local conservation, enhance travellers’ appreciation for Vietnam’s environmental richness.

Wildlife

The Vietnamese landscape is a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, from coral reefs teeming with marine life in Nha Trang to the dense forests surrounding Ha Long Bay. This tour emphasizes ethical wildlife encounters, where guests can observe wildlife with minimal interference. For example, the Trung Trang cave visit on Cat Ba Island introduces travelers to the wildlife of Cat Ba National Park, an area dedicated to protecting endangered species like the Cat Ba langur. The cruise line aboard Orchid Trendy Cruise also educates travellers on preserving these natural habitats, underscoring the impact of human activities on marine biodiversity. Through such experiences, visitors gain insight into Vietnam's wildlife conservation efforts, further promoting sustainable tourism that actively benefits local ecosystems and encourages protection for generations to come.

Local Economy and Employment

Our itinerary emphasises supporting the local economy and creating job opportunities by prioritising small, locally-owned businesses, artisans, and tour guides. For instance, in Ho Chi Minh City, the lacquer workshop visit supports local artisans, allowing travellers to purchase authentic Vietnamese crafts directly from the source. In Nha Trang, guests can dine at local restaurants like the Louisiana Café, which sources produce from surrounding farms, benefiting local communities and keeping revenues within Vietnam. Throughout this journey, guests are guided by Vietnamese experts, from motorbike tours in Hanoi to culinary experiences, fostering meaningful connections between travelers and locals. This approach not only provides visitors with a richer, more genuine experience but also channels funds into Vietnamese communities, promoting sustainable tourism that values cultural exchange.

Inclusivity and Diversity

Our tour company believes in embracing inclusivity and diversity in travel experiences and within the communities we support. In Hanoi, the Old Quarter walking tour introduces travelers to a diverse community that includes Vietnamese artisans, international students, and locals. By offering guided tours that highlight lesser-known historical and cultural sites, this trip fosters appreciation for Vietnam's multicultural heritage. Additionally, we partner with socially responsible organisations that prioritise inclusivity, ensuring that the benefits of tourism extend to all members of society, including marginalised groups. By engaging with diverse communities and supporting businesses that value fair wages and ethical labor practices, we create a travel experience that uplifts diverse voices and perspectives across Vietnam.

We are a wholly Vietnamese company totally committed to the betterment of tourism in Vietnam. To achieve our objective, we work closely with clients, service providers and other organisations to improve standards, protect our country’s environment and culture, and wherever possible, direct the benefits of the income from tourism to individuals and local communities without the use of intermediaries.

By booking this tour, you'll be helping the operator to support Vietnamese service providers, artists and performers, small businesses, boat owners and other poor people in communities throughout Vietnam. For example, by cruising on the Ha Long Bay, you’ll contribute to local welfare because the owner of the junk and all his staff are local people.

We use freelance local guides with wide experience and knowledge of cultural traditions and an ability to interpret the cultural heritage of the people in the places visited. For this tour, you'll have two different guides, one from the north and the other from the south of Vietnam.

We have built strong links with local communities, craftspeople and artisans. We offer visitors an opportunity to meet them, thereby valuing their activities and thus helping towards their survival. Wherever possible, we contract local indigenous suppliers and assist them to improve the quality of their services. We also involve ourselves with other organisations to contribute wider issue.
