Beach Relax Tours

Thirty-seven itineraries where the coast is the point rather than the reward at the end. Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Da Nang and Hoi An, the Cambodian coast, and the Thai islands are what most of these are built on, and the durations run from a single day to three weeks. The reason the list spreads that wide is that "beach" means two different trips in this region: a few days added to the end of a touring route, which is what the short ones are, and a genuine fortnight in one place, which is what the long ones are. Both are here and they are not interchangeable. The thing worth checking before booking any of them is the season, because the two coasts of Vietnam have opposite ones — the central coast is at its worst from October to December, exactly when the south is at its best — and an itinerary that reads beautifully can be the wrong month for the beach it is built on. Ask the office which coast suits your dates and the answer will be specific.
