Feeling cruisy
Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam’s most jaw-droppingly beautiful natural wonders. Not only does it have mammoth limestone rocks and caves, but under its waters are over 200 fish and 450 mollusk species. Board your floating hotel for an overnight cruise on the Paradise Elegance. Fitted out with only 31 cabins, there’s no better way to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meeting locals
In the heart of Ho Chi Minh City is a social enterprise called Mekong Quilts. Globus have included a visit to this small shop where you can meet some of the staff. Mekong Quilts employs over 100 women from rural Vietnamese and Cambodian villages in a bid to help improve their quality of life. These women are exceptionally skilled at creating high-quality products made from locally sourced materials.
Learn about Herorats
Using rats to find buried landmines is extraordinary! Apopo is a humanitarian organisation dedicated to finding, and removing, post-war landmines near Siem Reap. With no more than 20 visitors at a time, Apopo have found that the African giant pouched rat has exceptional smell and agility to find these deadly weapons – hence the Herorats nickname!
Back to school
The simplicity and joy of primary school-aged children is the same no matter where you are in the world. Head to a local school in Siem Reap to meet a class of eager children, guide them with their English and take part in engaging learning games. We guarantee you’ll leave this intimate experience with a smile from ear to ear.
Vietnam and Cambodia are truly magical countries, so a Small Group Discovery tour offers several opportunities to dive in. Check out the full itinerary on the Globus website today.
