	General Activities Entertainment Golf Cultural Cruises Watersports Eco & Action         General Activities   A visit to Vietnam is certainly never dull. In addition to the country's unique cultural heritage, the scenic beauty of the nations varied landscapes, the natural hospitality of the Vietnamese people and the excellent levels of service and facilities offered at the major hotels and venues throughout the country, Vietnam also has plenty to offer the more active or adventurous visitor. A cruise aboard a luxuriously fitted junk in Halong Bay for example, provides a perfect setting for relaxing meetings and corporate events, while a day trip on the waters of the Mekong Delta offers visitors a different perspective of life in Vietnam. Keen golfers will find plenty of choice across the board, as Vietnam is home to some of South East Asia's premier golf courses, with around nine currently open and several more under construction and expected to open very soon. Watersports enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice with some of the region's finest scuba diving on offer in Nha Trang and excellent wind and kite surfing, plus sailing and wave boarding available on the beach in Phan Thiet. While no ballooning is currently on offer in the country, visitors to northern Vietnam can enjoy a helicopter ride out to and around beautiful Hal Long Bay, gaining a different perspective of these magnificent islands from the air. Day trips to the countryside are plentiful and on offer at just about every destination, and longer two- or three-day "safaris" can also easily be arranged through your tour leader or operator, some with specific themes or activities including bird-watching, photography or viewing Vietnam's varied wild life in its natural habitat. Culture vultures will also find plenty of interest in Vietnam, with ancient ruins dating back more than a thousand years at numerous locations in the country. The Old Quarter of Hanoi offers an insight to ancient capital, while the royal tombs and mausoleums at Hue have been carefully restored to provide a glimpse of the splendour of the ancient kingdom. And Vietnam is rapidly becoming an eco-tourism centre for intrepid travellers, with its beautiful and largely unspoiled forests and mountains providing plenty of opportunity for trekking and enjoying the simple pleasures of this remarkable land. Tours and expeditions can easily be arranged as a central part of corporate travel package, or as an optional addition at the end of the stay, when business has been attended to and rest and relaxation is in order.
