A fantastic experience!

Working with Gecko Tours was a fantastic experience! Knowing we had 3 days unplanned when we arrived in Cape Town South Africa before our official 21 day tour with another company we worked with Shannon to create a custom 3 day 2 night tour of the Garden Route. Our guide Eugene and all of the activities done were a wonderful way to start our month in Southern Africa. I would highly recommend Gecko Tours! Next time I will definitely spend more time in South Africa.

Dear Bgale, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with the Gecko Team, We are glad that we could've been part of your South African trip and that you had a wonderful stay in this Beautiful place of ours. We hope to see you again soon. Regards, Gecko Team

We chose South Africa with Gecko tours for our honeymoon and it was the best trip of our lives! All the planning was taken care of and tailored to our needs, which made the trip straight forward. The Gecko team saved us countless of hours of planning our honeymoon, for which we are very grateful. Our tour guide, Eugene, was really friendly, funny and knowledgeable - it was a real treat to learn the history of the local areas we travelled to from him. Eugene also recommended adventure activities that we could do in different places (such as adventure caving and zip lining), and we liked that the tour was flexible to add in these options. Overall, we would fully recommend Gecko tours to anyone, and we'd like to go with them again for future tours! Thank you all for helping us have the best holiday ever!

Dear M_Prab, We would like to thank you for taking time and reviewing your tour with us, We could not be more happy that you selected us to plan such a special vacation for you, Needless to say that Eugene always ensures that his clients are comfortable and happy. We would love to host you again when you visit the Beautiful Garden Route or Cape Town. Regards, Gecko Team

Eugene was our tour guide from landing in Cape Town for the 3 days following. We created a custom tour along the Garden Route to fit our travel schedule & it was wonderful! He cheerfully picked us up from the airport on-time. Communication was excellent as well. We then traveled 5 hours to reach out destination & he was informative & conversational the entire time making this tired traveler enjoy the scenery & stay awake. On the way to the Garden Route, we were lucky to spot baboons, we then headed to the Conga Caves & checked into our B&B- which was lovely. After a long day an early morning awaited us to visit the meerkats at sunrise. We were treated with a very sweet show by them which was a wonderful start to our day. From there, we went to the ostrich farm to learn about these fascinating creatures. We were able to stand on the eggs & even get an "ostrich massage!" After, we then arrived at the elephant preserve where we were able to get out of the vehicle & encounter these gentle giants by feeding them then walking amongst them. There were zebras there too! DEFINITELY one of the highlights of the trip!! We then enjoyed a safari where we enjoyed a menagerie of animals (missed the lion & hippo, but saw everything else!) which was an amazing experience! So cool to see so many wild animals co-habitating in the wild. We were then dropped off back in Cape Town where we bid farewell to Eugene. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience! Thank you! Rebecca G.

Dear Rebecca Thank you for taking time to review us. Eugene is an excellent guide and very passionate to show you the best South Africa has to offer. We are looking forward to hosting any friends or family you are sending our way. Thank you also for the beautiful pictures

Thank you Gecko 🦎 Travel for making the journey to Cape Town and back such an effortless and relaxing experience for myself and my cat. Thank you for being the ONLY shuttle service who were willing to accomodate my kitty cat in his carrier on board. I also want to shout out 5 stars to excellent drivers and for their KIND and Friendly assistance!!! ( Thank you Rikus and Rey). I will most definitely make use of your service again!

ah thank you for your lovely review. Our drivers love hosting passengers in a special way.

I travelled back from Cape Town yesterday and would like to compliment Rikus on his superb handling of the hectic weather. He drove with care and consideration to those of us onboard. Thank you for a top quality service.

Dear HypnoT, Thank you for taking the time by giving us such a good review, Our entire Team takes pride in what we offer to clients daily and Rikus certainly knows how to take care of our clients, We are glad that you had a safe and enjoyable trip with Gecko regardless of the weather. We hope to see you again soon, Have a great week. Regards, Gecko Team

Eugene was our favourite part of the experience. Endless knowledge, ideas, suggestions and service. He understands what you want and gets you what you need. He became an integral part of our family. We spent 12 glorious days from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town with Eugene. He chauffeured us, educated us and made every day an adventure. Thank you for everything 🙏🏻 Nuriel and Garfunkel family’s.

Dear Nuriel and Garfunkel We are so glad you had a great time learning about our Country. Hope you have many more tours in the future.

• Beach Guide

Did you know... St. Croix is ringed by beaches of all shapes and sizes, some are long white sand stretches, others are small patches shaded by low sea grape trees and towering coconut palms. Some have smooth sandy bottoms ideal for swimming, and others have rock and coral-lined entries perfect for snorkeling! Did you know... St. Croix is the only Caribbean Island where a diver can: ●Dive a wall that drops over 13,000 feet ●Dive a reef that is the largest living reef of any Caribbean Island ●Dive five wrecks that are within 100 yards of each other ●Dive a pier        

• Weddings / Romance

DID YOU KNOW THAT... Many couples are opting to save the money (not to mention the stress and hard work) of a big wedding at home by escaping to a Caribbean island for a combination wedding/honeymoon. Upon their return, they can share the event by showing the video and photographs at an informal reception. All the islands are beautiful and, on some, weddings have become a major promotional tool. So why should you choose St. Croix above others?

• Moving Here

DID YOU KNOW... In addition to it's long and rich multicultural history, friendly people, open spaces, the blue sea and near perfect year-round weather, there are a number of reasons to consider relocating to St Croix. Most importantly, the U.S. Virgin Islands, which includes St Croix, operate under U.S. law which is important in both business and personal matters. 

This means mainland US companies do business here including retail stores such as K-Mart, Radio Shack, Office Max, McDonald's and Wendy's. Also U.S. financial services including a variety of U.S. mortgage, insurance and banking companies offer local service.  U.S. cellular phone companies including AT&T and Sprint, both operate here.

Arriving By Cruise Ship

The Ann E. Abramson Pier is named in honor of the Virgin Islands Public Works Commissioner who was responsible for much of the rejuvenation of the Frederiksted area. This is the pier where most of the large cruise ships dock, as well as military ships, submarines, and other naval vessels. From time to time, tall-ships especially from Denmark, can be seen here.

The dock itself has been a favorite diving place especially for viewing bright coral, sponges, and a multitude of fish life. A night dive should reveal the sea-horses unique to this pier. Visitors arriving at the pier often walk through the small town of Frederiksted and walk to the nearby beaches and beach club

Discover Destinations When to Travel How to get around Visa Food Other tips

Discover Vietnam

Vietnam feels like a life-changing country . It’s the kind of place where every street has a story to tell or a lesson to teach. Whether it’s educating you on its violent but rich history through its historical sites like the Cu Chi Tunnel. Or showing you the epitome of resilience which is displayed by the locals living their life every day. 

Vietnam’s world-famous cuisine is likely to teach you a thing or two about what brilliant food should taste like. How street food can taste better than any Michelin Star restaurant and why the perfect balance of flavours and spices is so important.

We’ve created this ultimate guide to Vietnam to share with you everything that this unique country has to offer.

Is Vietnam worth visiting? 

It’s not all about education though. Vietnam is a country brimming with fun adventures and experiences.

Like trekking through the magnificent rice terraces in Sapa , experiencing the true kindness and warmth of locals along the way. Even Vietnam’s markets feel like an adventure with the plethora of goods to buy, chaotic atmosphere and an array of smells drifting from street food stalls. 

We can’t mention it enough and will continue to bring it up. Visiting Vietnam for its food alone is worth it. Pho and Banh Mi are two of Vietnam’s most famous dishes. They’re addictively tasty, but there are so many more Vietnamese dishes to try as well as these. 

And when you’re not eating your way through Vietnam, you can be relaxing on its white-sand beaches or cruising along the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay . 

Vietnam is also a very affordable destination, making it accessible to every type of traveller. 

Is Vietnam safe?

Generally, Vietnam is considered a safe place to travel . Like with almost every other country in the world, petty theft and pick-pocketing can occur, especially in busier areas. Always make sure to keep an eye on your belongings.

Another thing to be aware of is that Vietnam’s traffic can be pretty chaotic , especially in the cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Take caution when crossing the roads.

And, if you’re going to rent a moped or motorbike, make sure that you’re confident driving one, understand the rules of the road and wear a helmet.

Top 3 places to visit in Vietnam

Vietnam is a diverse country offering bustling cities, lush countryside and paradise islands. That makes choosing where to visit, especially if you’re tight on time, somewhat difficult. To help you out a bit, here are our three favourite places in Vietnam:

Halong Bay — stunning limestone karsts and vibrant waters

An aerial view of Halong Bay is one of the most iconic images associated with Vietnam. The thousands of towering limestone karsts erupting from the emerald waters is a mesmerising and stunning sight. 

Aside from admiring this UNESCO World Heritage Site’s beauty, there are a number of things you can do in Ha Long Bay — boat trip, kayaking, rock climbing, visit floating villages and spend the night on an island. Most people stay on Cat Ba , the largest island in Ha Long Bay and one of the only islands you can stay on. 

Most people visit Halong Bay from Hanoi. Here’s how to get from Hanoi to Halong Bay.

Sapa — some of Vietnam’s best rice terraces and hiking

Sapa isn’t a destination that everyone visits during their time in Vietnam, and that’s exactly why you should. Nestled in the northern mountains of Vietnam , it’s an awe-inspiring region known for its mist-shrouded valleys, terraced rice fields and towering peaks. 

Sapa is also home to several ethnic minority groups , who have preserved their unique traditions and colourful attire. Here you embark on multi-day hikes through the stunning rice terraces, visiting these villages along the way. 

Here’s how to get from Hanoi to Sapa .

Tam Coc — Halong Bay on land

Tam Coc is another destination in Vietnam that not everyone has discovered yet. Located near the more popular city of Ninh Binh , that’s where most people stop. Hearing that it’s been given the name ‘Halong Bay on land’ should be enough to convince you to visit. 

It offers dramatic limestone karsts, lush greenery and meandering rivers. Hopping on a boat is the best way to explore this stunning landscape. One of our favourite things about Tam Coc is that it’s a lot more relaxed than most of Vietnam. 

When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

There’s a pretty large distance between the north and south borders of Vietnam, around 1,650 km, which is a similar distance between Amsterdam and Rome. This means that different parts of the country have their own climate.

That being said, generally, the best time to visit Vietnam is between November and April . This is when most of the country is experiencing the dry season and the best weather.

How to get around Vietnam

Vietnam is a surprisingly large country, so be prepared for long journeys and adventurous ones at that! Thankfully, Vietnam has a pretty well-established transportation network.

Here are the best ways to get around Vietnam:

By bus 

Buses are the most popular way to get around Vietnam. They’re often the cheapest option and faster than the train.

There are both government and privately-owned buses. In general, private companies offer more comfortable buses with air conditioning, sometimes a toilet on board and more comfortable seats. They also provide sleeper buses for overnight journeys . 

These sleeper buses allow you to recline to almost flat and give you space to lay your legs out. One thing to note is that these buses weren’t made with Westerners in mind, so if you’re tall, good luck!

Another thing to be aware of is that a lot of Vietnamese bus drivers drive like there are no rules on the road. Their driving style can be a bit crazy , flinging you around corners, and unsafe. This is why some people opt for the train instead.

How to buy bus tickets in Vietnam

Chances are you’ll be using the private buses rather than the government ones. These buses have separate bus stations, so make sure you know the correct one to buy your tickets. 

You can also buy tickets online, in advance, on websites like 12Go.Asia and Bookaway . 

Continue reading about bus and train travel in Vietnam . 

Most train journeys take longer than the bus, but there are many advantages to taking the train over the bus. The scenery is often more beautiful than the bus , travelling through Vietnam’s countryside. The train is also considered a lot safer than the bus which often involves a number of near-miss incidents. 

Vietnam’s main railway line runs from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, passing through Nha Trang, Da Nang and Hue.

Taking the train all the way from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi can take 30-40 hours, so we don’t really recommend this, but the train can be good for covering the shorter distances between the cities on the way. 

Buying train tickets in Vietnam

When buying your train ticket, you’ll need to consider which class you’d like. Third class usually has hard seats that aren’t very comfortable. Anything above third class should be fine. 

If you’re taking an overnight train, we recommend getting a berth , which is essentially a bed in a cabin. The number of beds in the cabin varies between classes and trains. 

If you’re booking a sleeper berth, I recommend getting your tickets a few days in advance before they sell out. These can be bought at the train station or online via Baolau .

By plane 

Distances in Vietnam can be pretty big, so some people opt to catch a flight if they’re tight on time or can’t sit on transportation for that long. 

There are a number of airports throughout Vietnam in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Nha Trang. Vietnam has several domestic airlines including Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, Bamboo Airways, Pacific Airlines, and Vietravel Airlines. Flights can be affordable if you book in advance.

It’s important to keep in mind that taking a short-haul flight can be up to 10 times more polluting than taking a more environmentally-friendly option like a bus.

By motorbike

Hiring a motorbike is a popular way to explore parts of Vietnam. It gives you ultimate freedom and it’s affordable . On average, bike rental costs around $7 a day and can be negotiated lower if you’re hiring it for a longer period of time. 

Popular routes that travellers like to take on include the Ha Giang Loop, Ha Giang Loop and the bravest of them all take on Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City.

If this is something that you’d like today, make sure that you’re a confident motorbike rider. Vietnam’s roads are no joke and it’s not uncommon for tourists to get involved in accidents. 

By taxi 

Taxis in the form of cars, tuk-tuks and cyclos (pedicabs) are mainly used to get around the city that you’re in. You’ll never have to wait too long before one of these drives past you, honking its horn. 

You can either hail one of these directly from the street or use the popular ride-hailing app, Grab. It allows you to order a ride and pay via the app, saving you from having to haggle over the price. Grab is often cheaper than local taxis too.

If you do pick up a taxi from the street, always make sure to agree on the price before getting in. 

Entry requirements and visa for Vietnam

In 2023, Vietnam updated their visa policy. Now, e-visas are available to all countries offering a 90-day stay and valid for multiple entries.

Citizens from 13 lucky countries can stay in Vietnam for 45 days visa-free. These countries include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Russia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus.

You can apply for the e-visa online via their portal. The application usually takes around 20-30 minutes and should be processed within three days. There is a $25 visa fee.  

Your passport will need to be valid for longer than 6 months. Also, ensure your passport is in good condition when entering Vietnam. The border officers have been known to turn people away if their passport is too damaged. 

Must-try Vietnamese food

Vietnamese cuisine is famous all around the world. Chances are you’ll have a Vietnamese restaurant in your city or town, but we promise you that it won’t come close to the real thing. The best way to experience Vietnamese food is by sampling it from the street stalls and night markets. 

Here are some dishes that you can’t leave Vietnam without trying:

• Pho — pronounced as ‘fuh’ is one of Vietnam’s most popular dishes. It’s a delicious noodle soup where the rice noodles are submerged in a flavourful broth, usually made from slow-cooked beef or chicken bones, infused with herbs and spices. Pho is served with tender slices of meat, bean sprouts, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime.
• Banh Mi —  is also incredibly popular and a remnant of French colonisation. Banh Mi is similar to a crusty baguette filled with savoury grilled meats (such as pork or chicken), pâté, pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and a dash of chilli sauce. It’s the perfect street food lunch.
• Fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon) — these translucent rice paper rolls are filled with a medley of fresh ingredients, such as shrimp, pork, vermicelli noodles, herbs, and vegetables. The rolls are usually served with a peanut dipping sauce, creating a light and refreshing appetizer or snack.
• Banh Xeo — is a savoury Vietnamese pancake made from a rice flour batter infused with turmeric, coconut milk, and scallions. The pancake is filled with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and herbs. 

Essential travel tips for Vietnam

Here is a selection of the best tips and pieces of information to make your trip to Vietnam that little bit easier:

Paying with Vietnamese Dong in Vietnam

Vietnam uses Vietnamese Dong (VND) .

While card payments are becoming more popular in big cities, upscale restaurants and hotels, it’s good to always have some cash on you just in case. You’ll need cash for things like taking the bus, markets and local restaurants.

TPBank and VPBank both offer free withdrawals and a reasonably high withdrawal limit of 5,000,000 VND ($195).

If you can’t find either of these, Agribank has a withdrawal fee of 22,000 VND ($0.90). However, it does have a low withdrawal limit of around 3,000,000 VND ($120). 

When using an ATM, it might ask you which conversion rate you would like to accept. Always decline the ATM conversion rate. Your bank will always give you a much better exchange rate than the ATM.

Buying a sim card in Vietnam

While a lot of cafes, restaurants and hotels offer free Wi-Fi, it’s likely that you’re going to want internet whilst out and about. We recommend getting a local sim card.

The three main mobile providers in Vietnam are Viettel, Vinaphone, and Mobifone. You’ll be able to buy a sim card from one of these providers at most international airports in Indonesia or at a mobile provider’s store. 

Out of the three, we recommend Viettel . It has the best coverage, fast speeds and is very cheap.

You’ll need to make sure that your phone is ‘unlocked’ which means that you can put any sim card in your phone, rather than being locked to a specific provider. 

Vietnam’s language cheat sheet

The language spoken in Vietnam is Vietnamese , with English considered to be the second language.

It’s always good to know a few essential words before travelling to a place, so here are a few to get you started:

• Hello – Xin chào
• Thank you – Cảm ơn
• Please – Xin
• Sorry – Xin lỗi
• Beer – Bia

The perfect packing list for Vietnam

Vietnam is a pretty warm country all year round and can get pretty humid as the rainy season approaches. It’s best to bring loose-fitting, cool clothes and of course, your swimsuit if you’re heading to one of Vietnam’s beaches. 

Though, if you’re planning on heading to the far north parts of Vietnam, it can get pretty chilly during the winter and at night. It’s always good to have a jumper or jacket with you.

Aside from the essential travel gear, here are some that have become permanent fixtures on our packing list: 

• Reusable water bottle – they’re better for the environment and can save you money on water.
• A portable charger – there’s probably going to be a time when your phone’s battery is on red, at a time that you desperately need it.
• An adaptor – Vietnam uses type A, C and F plugs. A universal travel adaptor is a great buy if you’re travelling between different continents.
