Opening in the UK on 10 March, epic new King Kong blockbuster Kong: Skull Island will bring some of Vietnam's most majestic natural landscapes to the big screen. For movie-goers inspired to visit the Southeast Asian hotspot to see some of the stunning filming locations for themselves, bespoke holiday specialists Experience Travel Group have created a two-week 'Kong: Skull Island Location Holiday'. The new tour takes in many of the locations where the film starring Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson was shot, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay and the amazing Tam Coc caves.

As its prominence in the film's trailer suggests, Vietnam's world-famous Halong Bay plays a leading role in Kong: Skull Island. Safe in the knowledge that Kong is now long gone, travellers on this two-week holiday will enjoy a two-night cruise around this wonderful natural wonder. The holiday also takes in the filming locations of the out-of-this-world Tam Coc and Trang An caves and Van Long – home to an astonishing 457 species of plants and 39 different types of animals, including the Tibetan bear and red-faced monkey. Time will also be spent in the vibrant cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City – visitors will fly to or from either city from London Heathrow on Vietnam Airlines' daily nonstop B787-9 Dreamliner service.  

This 14-day itinerary costs from £3557 per person and, as with all Experience Travel Group holidays, includes all Vietnam Airlines flights, accommodation, experiences, entrance fees, guides, transport and a number of meals. The tour can be tailored to meet individual requirements.
