Good to know

Central Vietnam's rainy and typhoon season is roughly September to December; Hoi An's old town can flood in October and November. We adjust the plan on the day if needed.
Can start in Da Nang and end in Hue instead.
Prices are per person in Canadian dollars. Vietnam uses the dong (VND); cards work in most hotels, but bring some cash for markets and tips.

Cancellation

Cancel at least 14 days before arrival for a full refund. Inside that, hotels, boats and transport are committed and we refund whatever our suppliers release, and we show you exactly what that is.
