Visa for Vietnam
Indian passport holders need a Vietnam e-visa, not a visa on arrival, as of June 2026. For most Vietnam family packages, applying at least one week before departure helps avoid last-minute delays, especially when travelling with children or in larger groups. The e-visa covers up to 90 days and allows single or multiple entries.
- Single entry: approx. INR 2,358.25 (USD 25).
- Multiple entry: approx. INR 4,716.50 (USD 50).
- Processing time: apply online and allow at least one week before travel.
- Documents required: passport copy, passport-size photo, and travel dates.
- Where to apply: through the official Vietnam e-visa portal.
Families arriving at Ho Chi Minh City must also complete the free Digital Arrival Card before landing, separate from the e-visa. Indian travellers staying only on Phu Quoc Island, without travelling to the mainland, can enter visa-free.

Best Places to Visit in Vietnam for Families
Vietnam is packed with destinations that appeal to every age group, making it easy to build a Vietnam family holiday itinerary that keeps both children and adults engaged. Whether you're looking for scenic cruises, cultural experiences, theme parks, or beach holidays, these destinations offer a balanced mix of relaxation, sightseeing, and adventure.
Ha Long Bay
No family trip to Vietnam feels complete without visiting Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its emerald waters and thousands of limestone karsts. Families can enjoy an overnight or day cruise, kayak through hidden lagoons, explore Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, or visit Titop Island for panoramic views. Most cruises also include activities like squid fishing, cooking demonstrations, and sunset sessions, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults.
Da Nang
For family tours, Vietnam offers few destinations as versatile as Da Nang, where you can ride the Ba Na Hills cable car, walk across the Golden Bridge, relax at My Khe Beach, visit the Dragon Bridge, and explore the Marble Mountains in a single trip. The biggest highlight is Ba Na Hills, home to the iconic Golden Bridge held up by giant stone hands, along with a cable car ride, Fantasy Park amusement zone, and the French Village. Families can also spend time at My Khe Beach, visit the Dragon Bridge, or explore the nearby Marble Mountains, making Da Nang one of Vietnam's most versatile family destinations.
Hoi An
Hoi An offers a slower pace that many families appreciate after visiting Vietnam's larger cities. Its UNESCO-listed Ancient Town is filled with colourful lanterns, riverside cafés, heritage houses, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Many Vietnam family packages include Hoi An for its lantern boat rides on the Thu Bon River, hands-on lantern-making and Vietnamese cooking workshops, cycling through the surrounding rice fields, and easy access to An Bang Beach, making it one of the country's most family-friendly destinations.
Phu Quoc
If your family enjoys beach holidays, Phu Quoc is one of Vietnam's best island destinations. The island is home to Sao Beach, VinWonders Phu Quoc theme park, Vinpearl Safari, and the spectacular Hon Thom Cable Car, one of the world's longest sea-crossing cable cars. With calm beaches, water activities, and attractions designed for all age groups, it's an easy choice for families looking to unwind.
Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam's largest city offers a mix of history and modern attractions that work well for families. Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels to learn about Vietnam's wartime history, explore the War Remnants Museum, admire the Saigon Central Post Office and Notre-Dame Cathedral, or take an evening stroll along Nguyen Hue Walking Street. The city also serves as the gateway for day trips to the Mekong Delta, where families can enjoy boat rides through coconut groves, floating villages, and local fruit orchards.
Things to Do in Vietnam with Family
Vietnam offers plenty of experiences in a Vietnam family tour package that can be enjoyed together, from scenic cruises and cultural performances to cable car rides and countryside adventures. These activities are suitable for travellers of different age groups and are included in many family-friendly itineraries across the country.
Cruise Through Ha Long Bay
One of Vietnam's most iconic experiences, a Ha Long Bay cruise lets families explore emerald waters dotted with towering limestone islands. Depending on your Vietnam family holiday itinerary, you can choose a day or overnight cruise that includes kayaking, visits to Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, swimming near Titop Island, and onboard activities like Vietnamese cooking demonstrations and squid fishing. Overnight cruises also offer the chance to watch sunrise over the bay from the deck.
Based on years of traveller feedback, we've found that a Ha Long Bay cruise is one of the experiences families remember long after their family trip to Vietnam, which is why it features in many of our Vietnam family tour packages Families often tell us that the Ha Long Bay cruise becomes the highlight of their holiday. Ananya Mittal, who travelled on our Vietnam & Cambodia Delights with FREE Visit to Cu Chi Tunnels package, later shared, “Cruising through Ha Long Bay was a surreal experience for our family from Noida; seeing the limestone karsts rise from the emerald water was breathtaking… Thrillophilia managed the entire logistics perfectly, from the luxury bus to the boat boarding.”
Watch a Traditional Water Puppet Show in Hanoi
The Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre in Hanoi showcases one of Vietnam's oldest performing arts, dating back over 1,000 years. Puppets perform on a water stage accompanied by live traditional music, telling stories of village life, folklore, and local legends. The colourful performance is entertaining for children while giving adults an insight into Vietnamese culture.
Explore Ba Na Hills and Walk Across the Golden Bridge
A visit to Ba Na Hills is one of the highlights of central Vietnam. Families can ride one of the world's longest cable cars to reach the hilltop complex before walking across the famous Golden Bridge, supported by giant stone hands. Beyond the bridge, the area features the French Village, beautifully landscaped gardens, Fantasy Park with indoor rides and games, and several viewpoints overlooking the surrounding mountains.
Cycle Around Hoi An's Countryside
Beyond the lantern-filled Ancient Town, Hoi An offers peaceful countryside that's perfect for a family cycling trip. For family tours, Vietnam is often remembered for experiences like cycling through lush rice paddies, quiet village roads, coconut groves, and local farming communities around Hoi An, offering a different perspective of rural life. Many tours also include visits to traditional craft workshops or a stop at An Bang Beach for a relaxing break.
Take a Boat Ride Through the Mekong Delta
A day trip to the Mekong Delta offers a glimpse into everyday life along southern Vietnam's waterways. That's why many Vietnam family packages include visits to Ben Tre, My Tho, coconut candy workshops, fruit orchards, and traditional wooden boat rides through the region's peaceful canals. The slower pace, scenic landscapes, and interactive local experiences make it one of the most enjoyable excursions from Ho Chi Minh City.

Based on years of operating Vietnam family holiday packages and feedback from returning travellers, we've ensured that our itineraries include daily breakfast with vegetarian options, while selected Vietnam family tour packages also cover meals at restaurants that can cater to Indian vegetarian preferences. Our on-ground teams also recommend reliable vegetarian restaurants near your hotel and sightseeing areas, making it easier to enjoy local experiences without worrying about meal options.
This is something many families travelling with us often appreciate in their post-trip feedback. Tanvi Hegde from Bangalore, who booked the Central Vietnam Tour Package, mentioned, "The hotels were premium and located right in the heart of the action. Thrillophilia’s team was proactive, ensuring our vegetarian meal preferences were met during the cruises. A very well-organized holiday.”

Why Travellers Trust Thrillophilia for Vietnam Family Tours
A family trip to Vietnam involves multiple destinations, internal transfers, cruises, and seasonal planning. Here's how Thrillophilia's Vietnam family tours make the journey smoother with carefully selected experiences, on-ground support, and practical travel planning.

- Backed by Verified Family Travellers: Our 4.8-star rating from verified travellers reflects the quality of our Vietnam family tours, with itineraries refined through real travel experiences and on-ground feedback.
