Ready to leave the ordinary behind with more active and adventure activities during your next trip? At Viland Travel, our Active & Adventure tours are designed for those who seek to experience Southeast Asia’s untamed beauty firsthand - hiking, kayaking, biking, and exploring the lands beyond the tourist trails.

Walk through the rice-terraced mountains, cycle alongside ancient Khmer ruins, kayak into hidden lagoons, and challenge with hundreds steps to explore Halong Bay Caves. Every day brings a new horizon, blending breathtaking landscapes with rich cultural encounters.

Whether you’re chasing soft adventure, adrenaline, connecting with nature, or simply looking to push your limits, our travel designers craft every adventure around your pace, your interests, and your desire to explore deeper.

Highlights

  • Hike through Sapa’s stunning hilltribe villages
  • Walk to explore the ancient temples of Angkor, hidden deep in Cambodia’s jungle
  • Refreshing at the exciting Kuang Si waterfalls
  • Join a hands-on farming experience in a rural Vietnamese village
To me, an active adventure should leave you breathless, not just from the trekking or the kayaking, but from the moments of awe, the glimpses of cultures untouched by time, the view from above when you made it to the higher ground or the mountains and the wild beauty you’ll carry home with you. Southeast Asia is a playground for the spirited explorer, and we’ll help you experience it to the fullest.
