Vietnam With Kids: What We Wish We Knew Before Going 🇻🇳

Traveling Vietnam with kids was beautiful, chaotic, surprising and honestly… way different than we expected. In this video we share what we loved, what was hard, and what we really wish we knew before coming. If you’re planning a Vietnam trip with kids — or you just want the honest version of family travel — this one’s for you. Leaving Thailand after months of exploring felt like ending a chapter — but Vietnam completely surprised us. 🇻🇳 And before we jump into our New Zealand series, we wanted to look back and finally share the real story of what Vietnam was like for our family. We spent weeks traveling through Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, Ninh Binh — with two kids, a couple suitcases, some chill, and a whole lot of learning moments along the way. This is everything we did, what we learned, and what we wish we knew before taking our kids through the country. We want to give you the honest breakdown of everything we did, what we loved, what we’d skip next time, and what we wish someone told us before taking our family across the country. 💬 If you’re planning a Vietnam trip with kids (or you’re just curious how a full-time travel family survives months on the road), this one’s for you. ⭐ What we cover in this video: • Ha Long Bay — was the famous cruise actually worth it with kids? 🚢 • Ba Na Hills — the Golden Bridge, the crowds, the chaos… and the part we actually loved ✨ • Mikazuki Waterpark — the biggest surprise of Da Nang 💦 • Marble Mountain — the views, the sweat, and the stairs that tried to end us 🥵 • My Son Temple — peaceful, underrated, and somehow still empty?? • Hoi An + Coconut Boats — the vibe, the lanterns, the tourist traps 🌙 • Hanoi — the food, the noise, the energy ⚡ • Tam Coc — slow boats, giant cliffs, and our kids trying to feed goats • Biggest lessons from a family who sold everything to travel full-time 🌍 ❤️ Our honest take: Vietnam was beautiful, overwhelming, chaotic, magical, cheap, exhausting, and unforgettable — sometimes all in the same day. Traveling as a family isn’t a highlight reel. It’s messy, loud, stressful, and so, so worth it. If you’ve ever wanted to take your kids somewhere big and bold, Vietnam will stretch you in the best ways. ✈️ Helpful for: family travel vietnam, vietnam with kids, da nang travel guide, hoi an things to do, ha long bay tips, vietnam itinerary, backpacking vietnam family, travel mistakes, full time travel family, travel asia with kids 📍 Tags/Locations HaLong Bay Cruise: (Emerade Cruises) https://www.emeraude-cruises.com/en/ BaNa Hills: https://banahills.sunworld.vn/en Mikazuki Waterpark: https://mikazuki.com.vn/en/ 📍Marble Mountain: https://maps.app.goo.gl/u8fbk3azk6pjE... 📍Lady Buddha (Linh Ung Pagoda): https://maps.app.goo.gl/ULyaKbqHz3bko... 📍My Son Temple: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pEA2gQP4TSAQn... 📍Sun Coconut Basket Boats: https://maps.app.goo.gl/W2e1B9tRGcBBP... 📍Tam Coc Green Mountain Homestay: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ey9K3BSo6zHiT...
