Booked tickets a few months back to do 3 weeks in Vietnam / Cambodia in Xmas break.
Was thinking about trying to get 2-3 days in sailing, It must of slipped from my mouth the other night and the bride replied that it would be a good idea wonders will never cease!

Anyone had any experience / advice to give on where to go - we have 2 kids aged 8 / 6 who are beach / sup / windsurf friendly.

Had a look at a few websites - but prefer feedback from users

Thanks in advance

I've heard "Jibes" Full moon Beach resort in Mui Ne is pretty good. Just north of Saigon/Hochiminh City.

Here are a couple of pics of some windsurfers in Nha Trang
They also had some kite gear in the beach hut.
Also heard of guys Kiting at Hoi An






But Either way I think you would have to be there at the absolute best time of the wind season to pickup anything over 15knts


We rode though a desert area north of Mui Ne that I reckon would generate some good seabreezes in the right season.

By far the best thing we done while there in april was a 5 day easyrider trip up into the hills and back streets on the back of motor bikes, got see a much better part of Vietnam and had personal guides that speak english

Hi Ben (&sausage),
Vietnam = Friggin awesome :)
I went last year and discovered a new kite\windsurf\sup school + hire in Hoi An at Ang Bang Beach. So Sausage this is prob your best bet if you cant get to Mui Ne or Nha Trang. Mui Ne would be first pref though.

I think the conditions in Hoi An are more fluky but you can always go out on a sup or just enjoy the magnificent town that is Hoi An :) I would prob talk to the guys that run it.
Sausage - if you wingin it I would highly recommend Sapa (overnight train from Hanoi) it is stunning!!! Dalat is alos a cool place with lots of action, adventure like trekking and waterfalls etc. Not sure of weather that time of year, I went July but both Sapa and Dalat were a bit cooler which provided welcome relief from humidity.
Also Sausage, most Halong bay junks and itineries dont quite match up to what on offer and you prob find if you booked from here the price is tripple. We had to insist our guys took us to a place so we could jump off and swim, which they obliged but make sure you are clear what you are getting. Also very little shade on deck and no junk had its sails up :(
If either of you want more info on travelling in Vietnam, please feel free to contact me I covered Sapa\Hanoi\Halong Bay\Hoi An\Dalat\HCMC.
Jodi :)

SAPA - View from bed at hotel (Cat Cat View) $30-40?

HOI AN

Jodi,
Thanks for the great tips and photos. Will put Sapa on our itinerary and hopefully Hoi An.
Cheers,
Sausage
