Before you come: What should we bring along on our trip to Vietnam?
It is best to travel light in Vietnam. One medium sized bag and a day pack will provide more than enough room to carry everything you'll need, and enough space for the things you'll buy in Vietnam.
There are lots of consumer goods in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, so do not worry about running out of something and if you do forget something you can find it here. Before you leave home complete the following checklist:
- Lightweight and quick dry clothing is most appropriate for the summer months and warmer clothing for the winter months, sun hat, swim suit, ultra lightweight rain jacket.
- Travel Documents: Passport, Visa, Travel Insurance, Air Tickets (you should scan them and email them to yourself incase you loose them)
- Health requirements, medications, and travel insurance arranged.
- Flashlight, alarm clock, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, small personal first aid kit, personal toiletries
- Money: US dollars or travelers cheques and/or credit card.
- Raincoat or umbrella, good hiking shoes for iExplore trekking trips
- Cable locks or padlock for luggage
- Camera with charger
Before you come: Travel insurance, do we buy it here at home before traveling to Vietnam?
iExplore Travel works hard to make sure you stay on the safe side but, for your protection, please buy travel insurance in your country before you travel to Vietnam. It is compulsory for any participant on our tours. It is strongly advised to have travel insurance covered before your depart to Vietnam.
Insurance will be really helpful in case of medical emergency evacuation. The travel insurance will cover against hospital and medical expenses and other expenses as a consequence of accidents occurring to the bearer during the period of Insurance and/or unforeseen illnesses which arises during that period as well.
Before you come: Are there any restrictions on the type of luggage that we bring?
Domestic airlines have their weight restrictions. You may only have one suitcase or backpack, with a maximum weight of 20kg, and one piece of hand luggage, with a maximum weight of 5 – 7 kg. An extra charge for overweight is applied.
There is no actual limit on our trips, but we would suggest you travel light with one suitcase or backpack and one small daypack a small bag which you can access during the day and carry items like your camera, drinking water, toilet paper, hat, sunscreen, etc.
It is essential that you have a lock for each piece of luggage. Without one, railway and airline staff and some hotels may refuse to handle it.
