Itinerary

Landing in Hanoi, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation in the heart of the city. Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come.

We'll jump straight into the hustle and bustle of Hanoi today with a walking and rickshaw tour of the city. Soak in daily life in the chaotic capital and fill up on spicy spring rolls and tasty street food.

This evening we'll be heading out for dinner and drinks to see what Hanoi has to offer after dark.

From Hanoi we'll travel to Ha Long Bay, where we'll cruise the emerald green waters surrounded by limestone mountains, feeling like we're not quite on this planet. The secret caves and coves will prove too much to resist, so we'll jump into kayaks to explore further before settling down for the evening on our overnight boat complete with hot tub and bar.

The rice paddies and vast limestone mountains of Ninh Binh await us, where we'll be staying at a local homestay in traditional bungalows right by the river. We'll take to two wheels to weave through the rice paddies before taking a local row boat through the network of rivers and caves. We'll finish our time here with a hike to the Dragon Mountain viewpoint.

Beautiful, historical Hoi An will win you over. We'll check in to our hotel, then this afternoon you'll have time to explore, go shopping, or perhaps visit a local tailor to get a custom suit or dress made. Local fishermen will be our guides today teaching us the art of crab fishing. We'll then take part in a hands on cooking class to become masters of all things Vietnamese cuisine.

Today you'll try your hand at making an awesome Vietnamese souvenir – a lantern! Then we'll take a short bicycle ride through idyllic fields to the coast for a chilled beach day with some lunch at a cool beach club.

Taking to the skies, we'll head south to the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh. The rest of the day will be yours to explore as you wish.

The Mekong is nothing if not impressive, creating vast swathes of lush green land as far as the eye can see. We'll be seeing how locals live and work on the river, visit local villages, and stay tonight in a local homestay.

The Cu Chi Tunnels are on the agenda for today. This network of hand dug underground tunnels played a crucial role in the Vietnam War, providing supply routes, hideouts and living quarters for soldiers. Arriving back into Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon, we'll be dressing sharp for our farewell dinner and party this evening.

Your unforgettable 12 day adventure will come to an end today. Those flying home will make their way to the airport, or keep living the dream and extend your stay in Vietnam or South East Asia with our help and the new friends you've made.

Amazing tour of Vietnam 2 Peta, WA, Australia, Oct 2022

Would happily do an Intro tour again and would highly recommend booking through Global Journeys. The communication with Global journeys via email and phone was always easy and accessible. Some highlights of the trip including Ha long bay and Hoi an. I did the trip solo and it was one of the best things I've ever done! Highly recommend.
