February 10th – 24th, 2025
You will need a passport to travel to Vietnam. Your passport should be valid until at least September 2025 and it should have 2 full empty pages.
If you don’t have enough empty pages, please contact us and we will send you instructions for getting a new passport in time for the tour.
➜ Vietnam – Most travelers to Vietnam need a visa, however, citizens of the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and most European countries may easily obtain an “E-Visa” online. The process is very easy, takes about 15 minutes and costs approximately $25 USD. You should apply for your E-Visa 30 days prior to the tour. We will send out the detailed instructions to obtain the visa through the official government website once the dates get closer.
➜ Cambodia – For those joining our Cambodia post-trip extension, citizens of the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and most European countries can conveniently obtain a visa upon arrival. This means you won’t need to go through the process of getting a tourist visa from the Cambodian Embassy beforehand. For this visa you will need to bring $36 USD in exact change and 3 passport-size photos (colored, with a white background, and a 2″ x 2″ size) so we can secure your visa as soon as we arrive.
In order to participate in this tour, you will have to provide proof of travel/health insurance. Travel insurance provides peace of mind that, in case something happens, you don’t have to worry about paying for any health-related costs you may need or about being reimbursed for any travel expenses associated with flight delays or trip cancellations due to unforeseen reasons. It will also cover your possessions in the event that they are misplaced during the trip.
There are many options out there, so we suggest shopping around. Once you have it, please send proof of that insurance to team@wanderingearl.com for our records. You can do so by attaching a screenshot or downloading the policy confirmation.
Currently neither Vietnam nor Cambodia require any specific immunizations to enter their countries. However, it is always worthwhile to consult with a healthcare professional about any optional vaccinations that might be beneficial for you during the tour. These may include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Typhoid, Cholera, Yellow Fever, Malaria and Meningitis.
Please note that for this tour you should arrive at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City and depart from the Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi, as these are the most convenient airports for this journey.
In case that you decide to arrive early, we can arrange an extra night of accommodation for you at the hotel.
If you have booked the Cambodia extension, you can book your return flight from the Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) on February 27th.
You will soon receive a travel arrangements form asking for your arrival details so that we can arrange your airport transfer and any extra accommodations you may need.
For this tour we’re offering a three-night post trip extension to Cambodia, focusing on the bustling life of Siem Reap and the renowned Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. While there, we’ll take you through Siem Reap’s neighborhoods to get a feel for local life, and of course, we’ll visit Angkor Wat’s main temples along with some that fewer visitors reach. We’ve also planned a day to explore the tranquil Cambodian countryside, featuring waterfalls, specialized craft villages, and rarely visited temples. To top it off, we’ll enjoy a sunset dinner boat ride on the Tonle Sap Lake.
We hope that you are getting very excited about our upcoming adventure to spectacular Vietnam!
We will be in touch shortly with even more details. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to us anytime at team@wanderingearl.com
