Cycling in Vietnam
VeloAsia was the first company to organize bicycle tours in Vietnam (of course, the French may have done it way back when). We remain the most experienced, qualified and competent bicycle touring company operating in Vietnam, with a proven record of comfort, quality and safety. Many delighted customers have joined us on our journeys, benefiting from our extensive in-country experience and excellent relationships with local vendors. Providing great trips in Vietnam gave us the experience to branch out to other great cycling destinations such as Turkey and neighboring China.
Diving
Fantasea Divers is the most experienced dive company in the region. , They have live-aboard darkroom facilities for world renown underwater photographer, Mark Strickland. Mark's knowledge of the underwater world is unfathomable. There is even a rare species of nudibranch that the scientific world named after him!
Scubacat specializes in the Similan Islands.
Sailing Charters are available through Siam Dive n' Sail to all areas of the Andaman Sea. The most popular charter area is to Krabi, Phi Phi, and the Phang Nga Bay areas, though many people prefer the Similan Islands. Another area gaining in popularity for sailing is the Mergui Archipelago in Burma. The below links are to dive site descriptions of the area, but they should also give you a pretty good idea of what to expect for sailing as well.

"The Indigenous Peoples of the world are the exclusive guardians of large wilderness habitats upon which modern societies depend (plants, animals, climate, water). Their traditional lifestyles are models for the practice of conservation and sustainable consumption of biological resources. Maintaining and understanding the earth's most biologically diverse areas is dependent on maintaining the cultural diversity and integrity of Indigenous peoples who live there. Our efforts at documenting the lifestyles of the people we meet is the crucial first step towards giving them exposure and a voice to be heard. Native Planet brings you powerful, intimate and personal impressions, images and studies. We hope they move you and stir up that most basic human instinct to nurture and protect. Enter worlds you never knew existed. Discover the incredible diversity of indigenous cultures and natural environments. Read our stories, view our photos and be part of our journeys. Join us and participate as we sponsor proactive Education and Humanitarian Aid Projects. Help us make a difference."
