Vietnam is our home — and our passion
Buffalo Explore Travel is a local, Vietnam-based team who live for showing travelers the country we call home. We named ourselves after the water buffalo — the steady, hard-working heart of the Vietnamese countryside — because that's the spirit we bring to every trip.
We're not a booking website. We design every journey by hand, around you: your pace, your tastes, your budget. From the emerald karsts of Halong to the lantern-lit lanes of Hoi An and the floating life of the Mekong, we take you beyond the postcards to the real Vietnam.
Licensed International Tour Operator. Offices in Hanoi, Hoa Binh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Ho Chi Minh City.
