Tonquin Travel is the team behind Kingdom of Âu Lạc (KoAL) and Green Frogpackers (GF)— gamified travel experience platforms built to take you into a journey through time in Vietnam, not just “visit” it.
We don’t do cookie-cutter itineraries. We design journeys where travel and play move together: real places become chapters, local stories become quests, and every step you take leaves a trace in your own timeline.
Join our unconventional journey! Travel, play, and turn Vietnam into your chronicle.
What we believe
What we believe
Vietnam can be best understood through stories—told by landscapes, people, and the past beneath your feet.
Play makes travel more immersive—because curiosity is stronger than a checklist.
Your journey should be an unique story—not a template; a chronicle you can actually own.
What we do
What we do
Create KoAL and GF, where history-inspired “time travel” becomes a living experience.
Craft on-the-ground routes that connect culture, heritage, food, and everyday life.
Turn exploration into momentum—with purpose, choice, and a sense of discovery.
If you’re looking for a trip that feels like a story you helped write, you’re in the right place.
TIME TRAVEL - OUR INSPIRATION

Today, a single flight can bring you to Vietnam. And for many travelers, Hanoi is where the North begins to make sense.

But we keep getting pulled back to a simple question: 400, 800, even 2,000 years ago, how did people arrive here? Who were they—merchants, migrants, refugees? And where was their first touchpoint when they reached this land?

That curiosity is what we call “time travel.” Not sci-fi time travel. No portals, no fantasies. Just a way of traveling: walking through the present while staying aware of the past layered beneath it. You’re still in today’s Hanoi—only you start reading the city as a long current, shaped by routes, traces, and quiet repetitions.

That’s why our symbol is built around moving “backward.” An airplane at twelve o’clock flying counterclockwise—a deliberate turn toward the past. Behind it, water curls into a circle, echoing the old sea routes people once relied on to reach this place. And that circle becomes three things at once: the sun, the clock, and a ship’s helm—one idea, repeated in different forms: orientation through time.

On paper, time looks linear. But when you move through a city, it often behaves like a spiral: you return to a place and touch a different story—and you notice you’ve changed, too.

That is why we are building a middle guiding layer—a “game world,” or, metaphorically, a “time travel engine”—to lead travelers through those layers of the past, right here in Vietnam.
