The Buffalo Tours Story
Buffalo Tours was founded as a small tour operator in 1994 by Tran Trong Kien, a young medical doctor with a passion for adventure travel. In the beginning the company comprised of nothing more than a table and a telephone which never seemed to ring. Eventually however the calls started to come and Buffalo Tours began to be recognized and acknowledged as a leading adventure travel company with great ideas.
We pioneered the introduction of various adventure travel activities and areas to the modest adventure travel map of Vietnam. We single-handedly developed the region of Mai Chau for trekking from 1994. We also introduced the first sea kayaking tours in Halong Bay in 1997 using wood kayaks.
We still specialize in innovative travel, but now to Cambodia and Laos, as well as Vietnam. Buffalo Tours opened an office in Ho Chi Minh City in 1998, followed by 2 offices in Cambodia in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh and an office in Danang, Vietnam. We have also recently opened tour desks in both the 5 star Renaissance Riverside and New World Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. We have trusted partners who we use in Laos. We have also recently opened a representative office in Australia
Today, Buffalo Tours is an internationally-renowned, award-winning travel company spanning Indochina. We are recognized as one of the top inbound tour operators and destination management companies in Vietnam. Last year we provided tours for over 16,000 satisfied clients. As well as our many individual direct clients, we enjoy global and constantly growing partnerships with international tour operators and travel agents. Buffalo Tours is a leading inbound tour operator and provides destination management and inbound ground handling for over 200 companies worldwide.
Though we have grown dramatically, our philosophy for success has not changed – to do the seemingly impossible, to choose paths others fear to tread and to empower the local community.
Over the years, Buffalo Tours have introduced and developed a wide range of great traveling styles in Indochina which cater to all needs and preferences. Whether it is a scheduled group departure or private customized tour, our strengths lie in:
Adventure Travel
This was where Buffalo Tours started, where we win our awards and is still very much at the heart of what we do. The soft adventure activities we specialize in include cycling, kayaking, trekking, diving, snorkeling and sailing. These can be the focus of your holiday or combined with cultural discovery and relaxation.
In-style Travel
Buffalo Tours offer luxury experiences and premium service for the discerning traveler. Stay in the top hotels in Indochina, or, if you prefer, more boutique properties brimming with charm and character.
Incentive Travel
Buffalo Tours specialize in organizing corporate events, ranging from the more traditional boardroom settings to more creative venues like cruise boats and museums. We can organize outdoor adventure activities and exclusive gala dinners to remember.
Other Travel Concepts
Buffalo Tours already offer various fundraising/charity tours and volunteer-community projects, which can be combined with traveling in the region. This is an evolving area we are working to develop and for which our CEO was awarded the PATA ‘Face of the Future’ Award. Buffalo Tours can customize a trip no matter what your special interest, be it gourmet tours, veteran tours or even golfing tours. |
