This section has details of costs and arrangements for your travel with us in Vietnam. This page shows our prices. The other pages in this section have details of travel with us, hints and tips for being in Vietnam and some photographs of vehicles we have used.

How much does it cost?

We do not offer set tours, and you will have different requirements from other visitors, so the costs of each trip are different. But here is a guide for the winter 2016/17

May 2016

Prices for Travelling in Northern Vietnam
Winter 2016/2017

Vehicle and Driver per day

£100/$150



Plus for each Person per day

£70/$100
  • Everything to keep the vehicle on the road such as, maintenance, taxes and insurance
  • The salary of an English speaking driver for the period
  • All the necessary prior travel arrangements with us, and any assistance you need while in Vietnam
  • But excludes all the costs of daily travel (food, hotels, fuel, driver's expenses, entries...).
 
  • Well furnished rooms and bathrooms, usually the best in the area and normally better than Western three star rating
  • Three main meals each day taken, if available, in restaurants that may be able to provide some western food and furnishings
  • Fuel, tolls, ferries and other fees for the vehicle

An Example

An all inclusive trip for 10 days for two people would cost around £2,400 in total for two people. The vehicle £100 per day, each person £70 per day, total £240 per day, so for 10 days £2,400.

More Suggestions

For the days, after your tenth day with us, there is a reduction of approximately 15% . Reductions are possible if you prefer to eat local food and stay in Guest Houses, please enquire about these.


We would suggest a few days at either end of your tour to explore Ha Noi, this lets you adjust to the time difference, and to cultural differences, before you set off on your travels, and on return allows you time to explore the city in more detail, and seek out special momentoes. We are happy to arrange those days for you. When in Ha Noi you will want to enjoy some of the excellent cuisine and stay in the Old Quarter, so although the vehical rate is the same, the day rate per person is slightly higher than when you are out touring.

 

Currencies do fluctuate considerably so we suggest that we use the exchange rate that applies at the time of your paying the deposit. Click here on "Coin Mill" to see current conversion rates to other currencies.

That is an outline of the prices we charge, but do contact us to discuss your needs and wishes.

Travelling to Vietnam

We can advice you on your travel options from Europe and direct you to those who can offer specialist help, for example, on matters of health or visa requirements.  Fares from Europe range from £500 to £2,000 depending on availability.  A typical fare, on a high quality carrier, avoiding Christmas and Lunar New Year, is usually about £750 return per person if it is booked a little in advance.

Our Family Business

Jade Monkey is a family business where the money goes directly and entirely to those who will provide your holiday. There are no offices, no international agencies, no outside capital investment and no external agents to be paid. All those involved share in the rewards and so we can offer our visitors the best possible value.
