About us

Wildlotus Philosophy

We know that travelers are increasingly looking for an ‘experience’ when they select a country to visit, they are searching for genuine interaction with the culture and people they visit. Gone are the days where tourists are content simply to view the visiting country from the windows of a bus! Our philosophy at Wildlotus Adventures is to be able to create a unique experience. We take time to develop innovative adventures without damaging local communities and the natural and cultural environment. We aim to be facilitators, helping to bridge the gaps between cultures, to bring people together. Through activity such as biking, kayaking or hiking, our guests will experience the real country they visit. With this philosophy in mind, our highly trained adventure guides will open up opportunities for interactions and experiences that will inevitably leave a lasting impression and make for a holiday of a lifetime.

Wildlotus Adventures - What’s in the name?

The lotus plant is strong, practical, versatile and WILD. That’s us, well kind of…...... The lotus is a flower symbolic of good fortune and spiritual development. The long stem symbolists our connection to life’s origins, while the flower represents enlightenment to which humans aspire. According to Hinduism, within each person inhabiting the earth there is the spirit of the sacred Lotus. The plant grows wild and can adapt to a wide range of habitats from coastal environments to high altitudes. It is native to Asia and flourishes from India to China. We think it is the most spectacular plant thriving in aquatic environments. Spotting a sea of Wild lotus in Vietnam is breathtakingly beautiful. It is a useful plant. Its flower is both majestic and fragrant. The stem is sweet and can be eaten as fruit, sliced and stir fried, or stuffed with glutinous rice in its flue-shaped holes and steamed as dessert. When fresh, it is used to give a delicate scent to congee or steamed meat. The immature seeds can be eaten raw or cooked, they have chestnut like flavor. Ripe seeds are roasted and ground into flour, or boiled to extract oil. Lotus roots produce starchy tubers and have the flavor of sweet potato. The young, unrolled leaves can be cooked as a vegetable. Nothing is wasted. The Chinese say that, once having seen the wild lotus, you never forget it. Its corny to say but here goes– we hope that your journey with Wildlotus Adventures will be unforgettable too.

Whenever we travel, organization of the trip along with friendly , helpful staff is key. Our trip to North Vietnam with Wildlotus Adventures was just that. accommodations were top notch. We got a good sense of local culture. In all legs of the trip we were expected at our destination, greeted, taken care of and treated with that extra measure of special care that makes all the difference when traveling in another culture. We are looking forward to our return trip!

I have always been a do-it-yourself traveler, hoping to avoid the usual crowds and finding things off the beaten path. I never thought I would use a travel company, fearing I would be part of a large group of tourists. Wildlotus Adventures was a great experience and I had a lot of input into the trip. The tour was on my schedule and very personalized and accommodating to my needs. I felt like it was the kind of trip I would have planned myself without all the work! There was a nice blend of adventures with mountain trekking, experiencing local cultures, exploring Halong Bay and national parks, along with relaxing trips to beautiful little cities, towns and resorts. I loved all of it! I cannot wait to go back. Vietnam is fantastic and I am looking forward to what other adventures Wildlotus has in store next time!

I wanted to write and thank you for your help organizing my family’s trip to VN. They had a wonderful time, thanks to the service that you and your office provided. They especially liked the trip to Mai Chau, and our driver was very friendly, and a safe driver.

Dear Van and Wildlotus Adventures team,

Now that we are back in Beijing I wanted to email and thank you for all your effort to make our trip to Vietnam so wonderful. You and your staff made everything very easy for us: we were looked after by drivers, guides and hotel staff very well. We would love to come back to Vietnam some time in the near future.Thanks again,

Wildlotus Aventures: Comment va le voyage au Delta du Mekong?
Cyril: J'ai l'impression que c'est déjà loin, mais c'était super. Concernant le delta du mékong, cela a été une très bonne variante par rapport au centre prévu initialement. Adeline et moi avons adorés ce voyage. J' ai vraiment apprécié le fait de pouvoir s'éloigner des sentiers tourisques avec Ha sur le premier trek et en bais Halong.
