Day 1, Hanoi
Welcome to Vietnam and the beginning of your adventure in the captivating city of Hanoi!
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for check-in. With the rest of the day at your leisure, take the opportunity to relax and explore Hanoi at your own pace.
No meals included.
Day 2, Hanoi
Today, get ready to explore the heart of Hanoi with a local English-speaking guide. Begin your journey at Ba Dinh Square, where you'll visit the revered Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and explore his house-on-stilts, along with the iconic One Pillar Pagoda nearby.
Delve into Vietnam's rich history at the Temple of Literature, the country's oldest university dating back to the 11th century. Learn about Vietnam's diverse ethnic groups at the Museum of Ethnology, showcasing traditional customs and ways of life in its captivating displays.
In the evening, journey through the Old Quarter, tasting Hanoi's local delicacies such as Bun Cha, Banh Cuon, and Che Sen. Finish off the night with a visit to the "international corner," where you can mingle with locals and fellow travelers over a glass of bia hoi (drought beer made in Hanoi), taking in the vibrant nightlife scene of the city.
1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
Day 3, Ninh Binh
Hanoi - Ninh Binh. Depart bright and early today for an exploration of Ninh Binh, a hidden gem to the south of Hanoi. After a scenic two-hour drive, arrive at the remnants of Hoa Lu, once Vietnam's imperial capital during the 10th and 11th centuries. Here, admire ancient palaces, pagodas, tombs, and pavilions.
Next, venture to Trang An, where a sampan ride awaits, guiding you along winding rivers framed by towering mountains and lush forests. Along the way, pause to admire the area's historic temples. Make sure to take in Trang An's breathtaking natural beauty, from the clear river waters to the mystical caves and dramatic peaks. Afterwards, transfer to your Ninh Binh hotel.
1 breakfast, 1 lunch, no dinner included.
Day 4, Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh - Halong Bay. Today, you will drive to one of Vietnam's most treasured gems, Halong Bay, often dubbed the 'Jewel in the Crown of Vietnam'.
Upon arrival, you will board your boat for a captivating cruise around the 3,000 islets that emerge from the pristine emerald waters. This region boasts some of Vietnam's most spectacular scenery. Bizarre rock formations rise dramatically from the sea, and sails of traditional junk boats and sampans only add to the picturesque allure.
After a seafood lunch on board, set sail. Over the next two days onboard, you will have the opportunity to explore the bay's wonders, including visits to intriguing caves, refreshing swims on pristine beaches, and perhaps even a chance to explore a floating village. As the day draws to a close, enjoy an aperitif or attend a cooking demonstration before dinner. The rest of the evening is yours to unwind onboard the anchored junk boat.
