Dec 1 - Dec 6, 2026 · ₹87,943
We’re returning to a place that invites you to slow down, feel deeply, and reconnect - Hoi An, Vietnam. Hoi An isn’t a destination you rush through. It’s a rhythm you slip into. Lantern-lit streets, tiled roofs glowing at dusk, and mornings by the river that feel like therapy. The air carries hints of lemongrass and open countryside, while time seems to move just a little softer here. Hoi An is for travellers who value design, rhythm, and real connection, those who skip the tourist rush in favour of everyday magic. It’s a story told through colour, texture, and balance. Intentional, immersive, and effortlessly paced. Leave carrying the glow of Hoi An with you.

Day 5
Leave with new friendships and a Tribe of 5000+ founders & creators waiting back home<3
Day 6
It feels like a living room. The week is carefully run.
We're returning to Hoi An, a place that doesn't ask you to rush, it asks you to slip into rhythm. Lantern-lit streets, tiled roofs at dusk, river mornings that feel like therapy. This is a brain vacation for people who notice design, texture, and pace, not just sights.
Early tribe forming already includes a Creative Lead and a Solution Architect, different worlds, same appetite for slowing down and feeling something real. Expect clarity over chaos, everyday magic over tourist rush. Leave carrying Hoi An's glow with you, and a few new lifelong friends besides.

6 mapped days from first hellos to concrete asks and offers
Room design

Reality check: In Hoi An, expect mostly flat, easy walking and optional cycling with minimal physical strain, though heat and crowds can be tiring. Old Town involves moderate walking (1–3 hrs) on flat streets; can be crowded but not physically demanding. The main challenge is humidity + sun, which can feel tiring even without much activity.
BHX already has a tribe behind it
Founders, operators, writers, filmmakers, and designers have come through BHX. This edition becomes part of that wider tribe.
Who is in the room
People who have built and run things keep the week grounded.
Different ways of seeing
Writers, filmmakers, poets, designers, and founders read the same problem differently.
After the week
People stay reachable when the week ends.
Gameplan
The first days surface what people are stuck on. By the end, everyone has made specific asks and offers.
01
Arrival & Rooting in Charming Hoi An
- Arrive in Da Nang and drive to Hoi An. You’ve made it! Soon…you’re stepping into a week that will shift something inside you, all with incredible people by your side.
- Day 1 is all about settling in, getting to know your Tribe through stories that matter, the kind that lay the groundwork for the week to follow.
- First lunch with the gang sets the tone: relaxed, authentic, no pretense.
Full day notes
- To ease into Vietnam’s coastal mood, we go on an evening beach walk for sunset and dinner at a beachside restaurant
02
Connections & Local Magic
- The day begins slowly, with shared breakfasts, more intros and agency sessions that make you think differently about what's possible.
- By evening, we step into Ancient Town, where lanterns flicker to life and everything glows warm gold.
- We'll learn to craft our own lanterns, then release them onto the river. Watching our wishes drift gently into the night.
Full day notes
- This is the day where learning blends into culture, and quiet moments turn into memories you’ll carry long after the week ends.
03
Flow, Presence & River Stories
- Today, you dive into sessions designed to create clarity and forward momentum.
- By afternoon, the scene shifts, riverside walks, open skies, and a playful basket boat ride that reminds you not everything has to be intense to be meaningful.
- You're starting to feel it now: this isn't just learning, it's integration. Ideas settle. Conversations deepen. You're in sync with something bigger.
04
Open Road & Jeep Adventure
- The day begins early as you set out on a scenic jeep journey - dramatic coastlines, mountains and the timeless countryside.
- Here in Hue, history and culture take centre stage. Ancient walls, quiet stories, spaces that invite you to reflect beyond the grind of the last few days
- By the time you return, it's not just the miles you've travelled, but the perspective that feels wider.
05
Tribe, Breakthroughs & Celebration
- The morning belongs to Tribe Dates. Be your most honest self…these raw conversations give you the kind of clarity only shared spaces can create.
- The day is yours to design. Wander through the city, follow your curiosity, or set out on an adventure of your own. The most meaningful discoveries happen when you give yourself the freedom to explore.
- Tonight, we celebrate. A house party filled with laughter, music, and the quiet knowing that these connections are built to last.
Full day notes
- By now, you know: the magic is all in the moments between.
06
Goodbyes & Departures
- The final morning arrives softly. shared breakfasts, lingering conversations, and a slower pace that invites reflection.
- As bags are packed and checkouts begin, the Tribe gathers one last time, celebrating what was built and what continues beyond the journey.

FAQs
Who usually travels with Experience Co.?+
Across the 12 months ending 29 July 2026, our travelled groups were close to balanced, with about 55% women and 44% men. The median traveller was 34 and the median group had 9 people. That is a historical snapshot, not a promise about the mix on a specific edition.
What makes Experience Co. trips different?+
We design each edition around the destination rather than using a standard tour template. The usual rhythm is one or two experiences a day, with room to take the place in instead of rushing through a checklist.
Can adults of any age apply?+
Yes. Anyone aged 18 or older can apply. Our groups often skew from the late 20s to early 40s, but fit, energy and the experience itself matter more than fitting a narrow age band.
Can I travel with a friend or partner?+
Yes. You can apply solo or with someone you know.
What exactly is included vs excluded in the trip price?+
Included: private lantern boat experience, Jeep road trip to Hue and back, basket boat ride, and group accommodation/activities as per itinerary. Excluded: international flights, visa & travel insurance, meals not specified, personal shopping/tips, airport transfers, solo excursions, and personal meals/drinks. Basically — the core experience is covered, personal extras are on you.
Will I have WiFi and phone connectivity in Vietnam?+
Yes — grab a local SIM at the airport on arrival (around USD 5-10 for a tourist SIM with decent data) or use an eSIM if your phone supports it. Most cafes, hotels, and restaurants in Hoi An have free WiFi too, so staying connected won't be a problem.
How do we get around in Hoi An — is transport included?+
Local transport for included activities (like the Jeep road trip to Hue and back, boat rides) is covered. For getting around town on your own — think Grab (Vietnam's Uber equivalent), rented bicycles, or walking, since Hoi An's Old Town is very walkable. Airport transfers are NOT included, so plan your own pickup or coordinate with the group.
What happens in an emergency — who do I contact?+
Every group has a dedicated ExCo trip lead on-ground with local emergency contacts, nearest hospital info, and 24/7 support. You'll get an emergency contact card at trip briefing with local numbers plus our India-based support line. Also — please don't skip travel insurance, it's excluded from the trip cost but essential for peace of mind.
What's the weather like in Hoi An in early May?+
Early May sits at the edge of Vietnam's dry-to-wet transition — expect hot, humid days (28-34°C) with occasional short rain showers, especially in the afternoons. It won't be full monsoon season yet, so plan for sun most days but keep a light rain jacket handy just in case.
How fit do I need to be for this trip? It's rated Activity Level 3.+
Activity Level 3 means moderate activity — think walking tours, boat rides, and a full-day road trip to Hue. Nothing extreme, but you should be comfortable walking for extended periods, some uneven terrain, and being on your feet for a few hours a day. If you can handle a full day of sightseeing without needing constant rest stops, you're good.
Is alcohol easily available, and is it included in the trip?+
Alcohol is widely available and affordable in Hoi An — local beer (Bia Hoi) costs as little as USD 0.50 a glass! However, drinks aren't included in the trip price — that's on your personal tab. Just drink responsibly during group activities, especially before the Jeep road trip and boat experiences.
I'm vegetarian/vegan — will I survive food-wise in Hoi An?+
Totally! Hoi An is very veg-friendly with tons of dedicated vegetarian and vegan restaurants (Vietnamese food uses a lot of fresh veggies, tofu, and herbs). Just flag your dietary preference to us in advance so we can adjust included meals. Street food has options too, but always double-check for fish sauce if you're strict vegan — it sneaks into a lot of dishes.
What should I pack for Hoi An in early May?+
Expect hot, humid weather — 28-34°C with possible rain showers. Pack lightweight breathable clothing, a rain jacket or poncho, comfortable walking shoes (you'll be on your feet a lot), swimwear for the beach and basket boat ride, sunscreen, a hat, and a power bank. Modest clothing is handy for temple visits. Don't overpack — laundry services are cheap and easy to find.
The edition price is USD 992.75 — what extra budget should I actually keep?+
Good question — that price covers the core experience, but keep aside extra for: international flights, visa (~INR 2500), travel insurance, personal meals not on the itinerary, drinks/alcohol, shopping, and tips. Realistically, budget an additional USD 300-400 for a comfortable 6-day trip in Hoi An, more if you love souvenirs or nightlife.
Do I need a visa for Vietnam, and how much will it cost?+
Yes, Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. For BHX Vietnam, budget around INR 2500 for your visa — we'll guide you through the process, but it's on you to apply (usually e-visa, takes 3-5 working days). Sort this at least 2-3 weeks before departure so you're not stressing last minute.
