Fly to Hanoi via Bangkok and spend 2 nights in the heart of the atmospheric French Quarter. Explore the city’s narrow streets on foot and enjoy a traditional water puppet show.

A 4-hour drive takes you to Halong Bay where you will board your junk for a 2-night cruise floating past towering limestone casts and tiny rainforest-shrouded islands.

Return to Hanoi airport and fly south to Danang to enjoy 5 nights by the beach. Bask in the sunshine by the stunning pool, discover rural village life by bicyle or uncover the secrets of Hoi An on a walking tour.

Transfer back to Da Nang and catch a flight to Ho Chi Minh, the country’s vibrant capital. A moving visit to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels offers you the chance crawl through this vast network of tunnels constructed by Vietnamese resistance fighters (Viet Cong) during both the French and American wars and learn about how the soldiers and their families lived.

Leave the bustling capital and transfer to Cai Be in the Delta where you will board a splendid rice barge. What better way to end your holiday than a relaxing overnight cruise exploring the Mekong Delta’s magical waterways!

Return to Ho Chi Minh.
