House of Travel Tauranga: The Crossing

I am an adventure seeker with a passion for exploring the world and experiencing everything it has to offer. I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences and have a particular love for small group tours and adventures. Whether it's cruising in the Galapagos Islands or exploring new cities, I love the intimacy and camaraderie that comes with traveling in small groups. 

When I'm not adventuring, you can often find me at live sports and events, cheering on my favourite teams and soaking up the excitement of the crowd. Or I'm equally at home soaking up the sun during a beautiful island beach holiday.  

I also have a love for cruising and have had the opportunity to explore new destinations such as the Mediterranean, the coastlines of Spain and Portugal, the Rhône and Saône Rivers in Southern France, canal boating in England, and cruising across the Tasman. All while enjoying the comforts and amenities of life on the water. 

One of my favourite pastimes is people watching whether it's from a cafe in Paris or on the streets of New York. For me, there is nothing more fascinating than observing the unique and diverse cultures of the world and the interactions of the people within them. I'm always seeking out new experiences and adventures, driven by a deep curiosity and a thirst for knowledge and understanding.

Vietnam FAQs

What is the best time to visit Vietnam?

Vietnam is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on where you're travelling.

March to May and September to November offer pleasant temperatures and lower rainfall across much of the country. Vietnam stretches over 1,600km from north to south, so the weather can vary significantly between regions.

If you're visiting Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City, spring and autumn are often the best times to travel.

 

How long should I spend in Vietnam?

Most New Zealand travellers spend 10 to 14 days in Vietnam to experience the country's highlights.

This gives you time to explore many places. You can visit busy Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. You can also see Halong Bay, charming Hoi An and the beaches of Da Nang or Phu Quoc.

If you have more time, a 2 to 3-week trip lets you explore Vietnam’s culture, food and landscapes in more depth.

 

Where should I go on holiday in Vietnam?

Vietnam offers an incredible variety of experiences.

Popular destinations include:

  • Hanoi for history, culture, and street food

  • Da Nang for beaches and easy access to attractions
