Vietnam + Laos Travel Specialist
Looking for something different?
If group tours and mainstream holidays are not for you then keep reading! Inner Journey Expeditions is a Vietnam and Laos travel specialist arranging private tours for independent travellers.
Travel off the beaten track
We organise adventure tours and adventure holidays to off the beaten track destinations in Vietnam and Laos. Imagine trekking to a village home stay in North Vietnam. Cycling quiet country roads in the Mekong Delta. Riding an elephant through the jungle or chilling out on a long boat in Laos. If that all sounds like hard work, why not relax on a beach holiday on Phu Quoc Island or experience a mouth watering feast with a cooking class in Hoi An.

We offer personalised customer service and itineraries for independent travellers who are looking for a mix of culture, adventure and fun in unique destinations. Our website offers suggested itineraries that can be bolted together or combined with your own plans to suit your dates of travel. If you have a special interest such as textiles and weaving, photography or ethnic minorities, we can arrange unique tours for small groups.
