Adventure Tips

Dress for Comfort

Light, breathable clothing and comfortable walking shoes are recommended as you’ll spend much of the day on your feet.

Prepare for Traffic

Ho Chi Minh City’s traffic is busy and loud; stay alert when crossing streets and follow your guide’s safety instructions.

Respect Local Customs

When visiting markets and religious sites, modest clothing and respectful behavior help maintain a positive cultural exchange.
