ietnam is famous around the world for being an adventure lover\u2019s mecca. Boasting dramatic, diverse terrain, beautiful scenery and everything from mountains to seascapes to explore, there is no better way to get that adrenaline pumping than with a holiday in Vietnam<\/a>! As Vietnam has only recently become such a hotspot for adventure tourism, you may not realise just how many incredible experiences can be found in the country.<\/p>\n

Ty at the travel and culture blog, Travel Hymns<\/a>, explains:<\/p>\n

“There is a beautiful variation of high energy sports opportunities in Vietnam. Apart from trekking in the mountainous north, visitors can now also go rock\u2013climbing, canyoning, sea kayaking or kitesurfing, among other activities. Da Lat has emerged as Vietnam\u2019s adventure sports capital, which is awesome since getting set up in any one of these adventures can be as easy a contacting one of the small outfitters in Da Lat – though some sports like mountain biking can be done throughout the country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indeed, around the country there are an endless amount blood-pumping sporting experiences to be had. So here are our top 10 unmissable extreme sports to try out in Vietnam!<\/p>\n

Trekking<\/h2>\n

\"my<\/a><\/p>\n

One activity that has always been a part of the Vietnam experience is trekking. This is possibly the best way to discover the rural areas of Vietnam and their unique cultures. Simply pull on your walking boots and go! There are countless hiking routes in Vietnam, from rice paddies to jungles, but perhaps the most impressive is Mt Fansipan. At 3,143 metres high, this mountain is the highest peak in Vietnam and located in the\u00a0L\u00e0o Cai Province\u00a0in the Northwest of the country. Hiking to base camp will lead you through some of the most remote areas of Vietnam, and once you\u2019ve climbed to the summit you will be utterly breath-taken by the spectacular views.<\/p>\n

Cycling<\/h2>\n

\"cycling<\/a><\/p>\n

If you prefer to travel on wheels, the ultimate experience of Vietnam can be had whilst cycling. Amanda Williams from the blog A Dangerous Business<\/a> explains her love for cycling in Vietnam, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favourite things I did in Vietnam was go on bike tours out into the countryside in a couple different cities. While it was terrifying to ride a bike on the streets of Hanoi, riding through groves of banana trees in the countryside was like being in a completely different country. And being able to ride along the rice paddies and to visit local markets outside of Hoi An was also really memorable.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With complete ease you can rent a bike and go on an adventure through villages, cities, farmland and much more. The rolling rice paddies of Sapa\u00a0will look gorgeous as you glide by on your bicycle, or for something a little more blood-pumping, why not try out mountain biking? This popular activity is loved by visitors every year, some of whom even take a kind of pilgrimage from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, over two weeks! Of course, you don\u2019t need to spend so long to enjoy mountain biking \u2013 areas such as Sa Pa, Mai Chau, Bac Ha, Da Lat and the Mekong Delta all provide exciting terrain and amazing sights.<\/p>\n

Motorbiking<\/h2>\n

\"motorbiking<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling the need for a little more speed, take your biking up a notch and try out motorbiking around Vietnam! Locals are huge fans of motorbikes and mopeds, which isn\u2019t surprising considering the motorcycle is possibly the most efficient way to get around the country.<\/p>\n

Rent a moped or bike and you can either feel the buzz of Highway 1 or take it easy taking in the views around Phong Nha-Ke Band World Heritage National Park.<\/p>\n

Watersports<\/h2>\n

\"kayaking<\/a><\/p>\n

Vietnam is known for its ethereal waterscapes, from Halong Bay to Hoi An. So why not take a dip in the serene waters? Some of the best locations to swim are at Mui Ne bay, Nha Trang and Da Nang.<\/p>\n

These areas are also hives for exciting sports on water\u00a0such as paddle boarding, kayaking, kitesurfing and windsurfing, Mui Ne is globally famous for these awesome activities, and even holds an international competition in windsurfing and kitesurfing each year. Paddle boarding is a relatively new form of exercise which will thrill \u2013 a cross between surfing and kayaking, this sport is the perfect fun form of exercise. Trying out these exciting sports in Mui Ne, you will be able to make the most of the incredible waves in close proximity to the city.<\/p>\n

Kayaking in emerald Halong Bay is also a highlight of any Halong Bay cruise!<\/p>\n

However, always be aware that much of the Vietnam coast has potentially dangerous undercurrents and can see strong winds \u2013 so make sure you take note of any warning signs presented by lifeguards or visible threats to your safety.<\/p>\n

Diving<\/h2>\n

\"scuba<\/a><\/p>\n

Dive into the underwater world of Vietnam as you try your hand at scuba diving in the county. This country is full of sapphire blue oceans waiting to be explored. In areas such as the island of Phu Quoc, you\u2019ll find a bustling world of marine life and also the best location in Vietnam to go diving. Just off the southern coast of the mainland, Phu Quoc is the ultimate for snorkelling and diving, but Nha Trang, Hon Mo and the Con Dao Islands are also fantastic places to see fish, seahorses, bamboo sharks, rays, clownfish, colourful corals and much more.<\/p>\n

Rock climbing<\/h2>\n

\"rock<\/a><\/p>\n

With a bounty of mind-blowing rivers and waterfalls with jagged limestone cliffs in areas like Da Lat, Vietnam is perfect for rock climbing. Locations such as Phra Nang and Halong Bay are perfect for beginners, where numerous schools lead courses with the safety of equipment and specialist advice.<\/p>\n

The experts at Climbing.com suggest<\/a> that, for an even more exhilarating adventure, very experienced climbers can head to Haiphong for some deep water soloing (climbing without a rope). Take the speedboat to Cat Ba Island, then pick a boat and paddle to a rock face or cave before going deep water climbing. Here you can even combine your trip with sight-seeing around Halong Bay. However, this type of climbing is not for the fainthearted or inexperienced, so make sure you get the advice and expert opinion from the professionals before attempting it yourself.<\/p>\n

Sandboarding<\/h2>\n

\"mui<\/a><\/p>\n

As Sandboard Magazine<\/a> exclaims:<\/p>\n

\u201csnow melts \u2013 waves go flat, but sand NEVER melts!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is why, for an increasing amount of people, Sandboarding is becoming on of the top go-to sports for adventure travellers. Similar to snowboarding, this activity sees riders descend sand dunes at immense speed, some performing flips and other tricks. The Guinness World Record holder for \u2018Speed on a Sandboard\u2019<\/a> reached 51 miles per hour!<\/p>\n

GoAsean suggests sandboarding in Mui Ne<\/a>, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cSandboarding is as fun as it sounds. Wake up at sunrise and head to the summits of the white sand dunes in Mui Ne, rent a board and spend the day surfing on dry, hot sand reminiscent of the desserts of Morocco but\u00a0with exquisite views of the nearby ocean.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tai chi<\/h2>\n

\"tai<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in need of a break from thrill-seeking among your adventurous travels, tai chi is the perfect way to wind down whilst learning something new. Originally developed as a martial art in 13th<\/sup> century China, tai chi is now practiced worldwide to improve breathing, relaxation and overall health.<\/p>\n

Rough Guides recommend<\/a> Hoam Kiem Lake as an ethereal location for trying out tai chi, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly morning sees Hoan Kiem Lake at its best, stirring to life as walkers, joggers and tai chi enthusiasts limber up in the half-light.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In his photography blog<\/a>, Cormac McCreesh describes the experience of witnessing local women performing Tai chi moves in Hi Chi Minh, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the park, a group of elderly ladies practiced Tai Chi, first some warm-moves, then forms with the Tai Chi sword and finally with the fan. It was beautiful to watch, elegant, refined and dignified.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To try it out for yourself, why not check out our beginner\u2019s guide to tai chi<\/a> before you go?<\/p>\n

Cu Chi Tunnels<\/h2>\n

\"cu<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking to have an adventure and explore the magnificent history of Vietnam at once? Then the Cu Chi Tunnels must be at the top of your Vietnam bucket list. As Lonely Planet explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tunnel network of Cu Chi became legendary during the 1960s for its role in facilitating VC control of a large rural area only 30km to 40km from HCMC. At its peak the tunnel system stretched from the South Vietnamese capital to the Cambodian border; in the district of Cu Chi alone more than 250km of tunnels honeycomb the ground.\u201d They continue, \u201cThe tunnels facilitated communication and coordination between the VC-controlled enclaves, isolated from each other by South Vietnamese and American land and air operations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nowadays, tourists are able to crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels after learning about their history. In her Cu Chi Tunnels experience blog post<\/a>, Olivia from O Christine says:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost immediately upon entering the outdoor museum, you are guided to fit your body into a tunnel hiding place – a space completely suffocating – even after being expanded to fit western tourists.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This experience is not so much adrenaline-pumping as educating, but you will certainly be fascinated to learn how some of Vietnam\u2019s most fiercely adventurous spirits evaded war using extreme techniques.<\/p>\n

Book an adventure holiday to Vietnam<\/h2>\n
