Our Story

Local guides, honest routes, no rush.

Indo–Pacific Travel was founded in Ha Noi by a small crew of guides who got tired of rigid, overcrowded itineraries — so we built the trips we always wanted to lead.

Our founding guides in Ha Long Bay
Since 2016

Born from ten years of guiding, not a booking algorithm

We started as three friends leading backpackers around Ha Long Bay on borrowed boats. A decade later we're still small on purpose — every itinerary is planned by someone who has actually slept in that homestay, eaten at that stall, and knows which cave gets crowded by 10am.

No call centres, no templated PDFs. Just a team that answers the phone and knows Vietnam by heart.

What We Stand For

Four things we never compromise on

Local-first guiding

Every guide is Vietnamese, trained, and grew up near the routes they lead.

Small groups only

Most trips cap at 12 travelers so nobody's just a name on a manifest.

Transparent pricing

What you see at checkout is what you pay — no hidden "local fees."

Give-back routes

A share of every booking supports the villages and reefs we visit.
