Homestay & Village Retreat near Halong bay

Brilliant trip. Our guide, Na, so friendly, helpful, and informative. Really authentic experience with a variety of activities over the course of our 1 day stay in the beautiful surroundings. Highlights included cycle rides in and around the village, catching fish with our bare hands, and the food!!! But most of all, meeting the villagers of all ages. Our teenage children were fascinated, as were we!

I will start by saying – if you are on the fence and want a world class local village experience in luxury – drop everything and go to Yun duc village!!! Dont just do the puppet show, also stay at least a night at the Viet House.

We stayed 2 nights at the Viet house in yun duc village and absolutely loved it!!! This was our second time visiting. First time we stayed 1 night and had to go back for more…

To give you a bit of background, I have travelled all over – Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Korea, New Zealand, USA, Japan — the list continues – and I want to say that our experience at the viet house was exceptional. Nothing like it and it is made extra special by Ms. Na!!! She is a sweet heart and you will have the time of your life there ❤️

It is definitely off the beaten path! Viet house has a total of 4 luxury rooms. In the heart of a beautiful local village. Located in between Hanoi and Ha long bay!! The drive in alone is picture perfect and the people of the village are AMAZING!!!
Every meal that you eat here will be a delicious 5 course meal ❤️

This was my 2nd visit to the Yun Duc village. First time I went – my kids were 2 and 5. This time they are 7 and 10 yrs old.

What did we do for 2 days, let’s see
– Bike through the village
– Pulled yuca off a tree
– Cooked desert overlooking the rice fields
– Made broom from straw
– Visit local home and sang songs
– Catch fish with bamboo basket
– Watch puppet show
– played badminton with the local kids
– Learn how to make rice
– Visit local wet market

After each fun day we got to sleep in a clean, mosquito free, air conditioned private rooms!!!

Absolutely amazing! I am already planning my next visit.

What makes it special is that not many people know about it and it is still untouched peaceful beauty. This place is magical and if you want to stay in a village and can’t do home stays… go to the viet house. I promise you will not be disappointed. And you will probably be writing a similar message when you return.

Go and stay one night here instead of an extra night in Hanoi. Its only a couple of hours from Ha long bay.

This tour is so underrated and needs to be much higher up on the list of things to do out of Hanoi! We stayed overnight on our way back from Bai Tu Long Bay and had the best time. We were welcomed warmly by host Ms Men with flowers and tea, and that hospitality was extended by everyone we met for the duration of our stay. We ate fruit in local homes, learned about the rice farming process from our guide Na, caught fish in a pond, and much (much!) more. Despite all of the activities, it also felt like a quiet retreat after time spent in busy tourist places across Vietnam. Also, the food served for each meal was the best we have had! I cannot recommend this tour enough for those who are interested in learning about culture and who value genuine interactions with local people. Thank you Na and the Yen Duc Village Team for treating us so well!

Kayaking in ha long bay, a UNESCO world heritage site, it’s worth waking up early for this experience.

We did a 3D2N in Peony number two cruise in Lah Na bay. We got welcomed very warmly, the staff was always happy and at your service. The food was delicious and had twice buffet. The tour was great and full of activities, from kayaking to swimming and cycling; we really had a great time!

I had a really easy time booking with this site. First off, the bookings are easily identified and they are very easy to distinguish. Also there are many different types of bookings so I was able to choose the right package for me. On the cruise I had so many opportunities to meet people from Europe and South America. I had a fun time dining and drinking wine. the food was exquisite with foie gras. and I enjoyed the tai chi in the morning.

Thanh xuân à,
Cứ đi – khi đôi chân chưa mỏi.
Cứ yêu – khi trái tim vẫn còn đập.
Cứ rạng ngời – khi nụ cười chưa tắt.
Cứ ăn – khi Trái Đất vẫn còn quay ??
