Vietnam Travel Frequently Asked Questions

Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended and may be mandatory for adventure activities. It should cover overseas medical treatment, evacuation, trip cancellation, delays, baggage and the activities you intend to do. Carry the insurer's emergency number and policy details.

Consult a qualified travel-health professional well before departure because recommendations depend on your health, itinerary and season. Bring prescription medicine in original packaging with supporting documentation, and check whether any medicine is restricted in the countries visited.

Your final documents include operational and emergency contact details. For an immediate threat, contact local emergency services first, then our local team and your insurer. Guides can help coordinate clinics, transport and itinerary changes, but medical decisions must be made by qualified professionals.

We recommend sealed bottled water or properly filtered drinking water rather than untreated tap water. Use sensible food hygiene, stay hydrated and take extra care during hot-weather activities. Tell the guide immediately if you feel unwell.
