Our story · Since 2019

Light the way to
authentic journeys.

A Cultural & Experiential DMC, born in Hanoi — designing journeys you feel, not just see.

The conical hat

In Vietnam, the conical hat is more than an object. It is memory, living culture — a symbol of protection and kindness.

It follows a mother across the rice fields. It glows in the lanes of Hội An. It echoes in Then melodies over Ba Bể, in the circle dance of the Northwest, on the rocky slopes of Hà Giang.

The conical hat does not tell stories with words. It tells them through connection — through memory — and a gentle Vietnamese spirit.

From this inspiration, Lantern Travel was born.

What we make

We don't operate trips.
We design Memory Journeys.

Immersive experiences where travellers live with local culture, share stories, and find themselves through meaningful encounters.

What we stand for

Authenticity

Real people, real places.

Responsibility

Value left with the community.

Sustainability

Green, low-impact travel.

Kindness

A gentle spirit of welcome.

Connection

Travel you feel and belong to.
