At Action on CBT, we believe every trip can be an opportunity to discover, learn, and create positive change. Our community-based travel experiences are designed for you to not just see but truly understand and connect with local stories and people. You can choose one of three ways to travel with us:

Travel to discover

Be immersed in the communities, customs and the cultures of Vietnam's ethnic groups through a transformative travel experience.
Sung Village

Sung Village is a 300-year-old hamlet in the forested hills of Hoa Binh Province. Here, the tightly knit Dao Tien ethnic minority have preserved their way of life through the decades. The village is a rare and wonderful setting itself, where winding rock paths lead through the trees to ancient ‘Ruong’ houses made with sturdy wooden planks and thatched, palm-leaf roofs.
Phu Mau Village

Phu Mau Village is a tranquil Thai community tucked away in the highlands of Son La. Here, generations have preserved their traditional stilt houses, lush rice terraces, and vibrant cultural rituals. Visitors can trek through ancient forests, soak in the Bo Am hot spring, taste unforgettable local dishes, and experience the warmth of genuine hospitality in every home.
Na Sang Village

Set amid a ruggedly beautiful landscape of lush rice fields and forested mountains, the Na Sang is home to a mix of six ethnic groups, the largest being the Tai and Muong ethnic minorities. Travelers will love staying in a wooden stilt house on the edge of a fishpond, and trekking into the hills to find streams and waterfalls.
Da Bia Village

Our journey in community-based tourism began with Da Bia Village, when the first homestays supported by Action on CBT opened their doors in 2015. Da Bia Village is ideal for leisure travelers and nature lovers, with soothing views of the Hoa Binh Lake, easy access to boat rides and kayaking, and warm and inviting accommodations run by local hosts.
