Itinerary

Picture
Day 1 (Sunday) Arrive to Ho Chi Minh City any time between 6am and 10pm and after clearing customs and immigration, you’ll be met by our local team and transferred straight to your accommodation, a journey of under 30 minutes, depending on traffic.  

Days 2 to 6 Activities & Sightseeing Week (Monday to Friday) Intro week is packed full of exciting adventures and cultural excursions where we explore Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) and its beautiful surrounds and get acquainted with Vietnamese culture.  You can expect your week to look something like this:  
  • Monday – orientation, Vietnamese language and culture session, activities with local students
  • Tuesday - City tour inc. Reunification Palace, Opera House, Notre Dame, Jade Emperor Pagoda, War Remnant Museum and Ben Thanh markets
  • Wednesday – Vietnamese cooking class, bracelet making workshop and Can Cu markets
  • Thursday – all-day visit to the famous Cu Chi Tunnel system
  • Friday – first day to your volunteer project
 
Days 7 and 8 (Saturday to Sunday) Spend your free time as you please, your weekends are yours to enjoy. Our coordinator will be able to help you decide what to do and will advise on the best way to get around.

Your last day (Saturday) Oh no …… no matter how long you’re here for, one of these days it will be time to say goodbye to your newfound friends.  The return airport transfer is not included, but is straightforward to arrange, and our team will be glad to assist.  Budget around $10 for the taxi journey (or just $2 by public bus).

Facilities and the area
  • Laundry facilities are available for a small fee
  • A safety deposit box is provided for your valuables.
  • Bedding is provided – no need to bring a sleeping bag, but do bring your own towel
