Advance booking is required to secure your spot. Once you reserve, our team will personally follow up with an invoice within 1 business day via email. To confirm your adventure, please deposit 30% to secure your spot within 72 hours.

Payment Methods: We accept Bank Transfers (VND/USD): PayPal, and Revolut (Highly Recommended).

(Why Revolut? It is the fastest way to pay and bypasses the hefty $25–$50 fees typically charged by traditional banks for SWIFT/International transfers.)

💡 Guide: Paying via Revolut (How to Avoid High Fees)

To ensure we receive the exact amount and you save on bank charges, please follow these steps:

  • Exchange to VND first: Open your Revolut app, go to ‘Exchange’, and convert your currency (EUR/GBP/USD) into Vietnamese Dong (VND). Revolut offers the best interbank exchange rates.
  • Start Transfer: Tap ‘Transfer’ -> ‘New’ -> ‘Add Bank Recipient’.
  • Select ‘Business’ and choose ‘Vietnam’ as the country.
  • Currency Selection: Ensure you select VND as the sending currency. This ensures the transfer goes through local networks, which is much cheaper and faster than SWIFT.
  • Enter Details: Use the Account Name, Account Number, and Bank Name provided in your invoice.
  • Reference: Please include your Invoice Number or Full Name so we can track your payment instantly.

✅ After Payment: Your Confirmation

Notify Us: Once your transfer is successful, please send a PDF or screenshot of the receipt to our email

Official Confirmation: Within 24 hours of receiving your proof of payment, we will send a Warm Confirmation Email containing your final trip details, packing list, and everything you need for the journey.

  • Participant Swapping: You may transfer your spot to another person free of charge up to 3 days before departure, provided the new traveler meets our health and fitness guidelines.
  • Tailor-made for Families: We are especially accommodating to groups with children or seniors. We can easily help you switch from motorbikes to a private car tour to ensure maximum safety and family-fun readiness.
  • Midway Changes: If you feel under the weather during the tour, our caring guides will support you every step of the way and ensure your safe return. While unused portions of the tour cannot be refunded, your well-being remains our absolute priority.
