A rice paper making session and cooking class will then teach the parents and children how to craft authentic Vietnamese food, before tasting their own dishes. This immersive half-day itinerary is priced at USD 146 for one person and USD 340 for a family of four.

This ecological paradise is home to many rare species of birds, butterflies and primates, including the critically endangered red-shanked douc langurs, which could be spotted along the way. This is priced at USD 171 for one person and USD 266 for a family of four.
