Welcome to Vietnam! Your guide will be waiting for you at the airport on arrival and will take you to your hotel.

Overnight in Hanoi

After breakfast, meet with your guide and transfer to Ha Long Bay through the scenic countryside. Ha Long Bay is truly one of Vietnam’s most impressive scenic sights. Heading out of the town we embark on a boat for an exploration of the legendary Ha Long Bay. This exciting cruise will provide us a fantastic view of the picturesque scenery blending with the sky and some 3,000 limestone islands rising amazingly from the clear and emerald water. The limestone karsts formations are littered with beaches, grottoes and beautiful caves. Along the way we will anchor for a leisurely swim in a secluded cove and an enjoyable visit to one of the many hidden grottoes beneath towering cliffs.

Overnight on board

On your return to Ha Long City enjoy a wholesome brunch as your boat wends through strange-shaped limestone rock formations. Upon disembarkation your guide will meet you and transfer you to the airport for your flight to Hue. Upon arrival you’ll be met by a guide again and transferred to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

After a relaxing couple of days, the tour continues southwards to the beach destination of Nha Trang. Aside from a lovely beach, Nha Trang has islands where you can snorkel and scuba dive in search of tropical fish and coral. The city’s hotels and resorts have rejuvenating mud baths and a remarkably robust nightlife scene as well. Enjoy a night out on the town or relax at your hotel.

Overnight in Nha Trang

Spend your time as you see fit. Nha Trang’s postcard-perfect beaches offer good reasons to do very little aside from swim and sunbathe! Be sure to visit some of the spectacular nearby islands, though. Highlights include Hon Mun Island, where you can snorkel and see tropical fish and coral, and Hon Tam Island, where you can relax on the beach. While the water just off the main-strip in Nha Trang is relatively clear, as soon as you head off from the mainland it becomes jaw-droppingly translucent.

Overnight in Nha Trang

Enjoy another day at your leisure. Soak up Nha Trang’s tropical beauty with day-trips to secluded beaches on Nha Trang’s periphery including Jungle Beach and Long Beach. Alternatively, head to the photographer’s paradise at the Hon Khoi Salt Fields for some amazing photographs.

After soaking up sand and sun, head to Ho Chi Minh City, a dynamic city of 6.5 million that boasts Vietnam’s most impressive downtown skyline. Upon arrival, your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel.

In the afternoon you have the option of a private city tour of famous landmarks like the Central Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral and Reunification Palace, or traveling out of town to see the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, where thousands of Viet Cong soldiers lived during the Vietnam War. In the evening, head to a trendy restaurant or cocktail bar, or try street food near central Ben Thanh Market.

This morning depart from your hotel and drive approximately two hours to Ben Tre, a gateway to the Mekong Delta. Here, you will board a small boat to start your sightseeing around the labyrinthine waterways there. Known also as the rice bowl of Vietnam because of its large rice production, the area has also diversified into activities related to aquaculture, rearing of animals, cash crops and fruit trees.

Visit a brick factory before boarding a small boat to meander through the canals and waterways. Stop at a small homemade coconut processing plant to see how coconuts have been turned into oil, candy and woven mats that are later sold in the market. After the boat trip you will have a short walk to a local village to see mat weavers at work and travelling down country roads on your way to the pier. After lunch relax on the top deck and take in the scenery back to Ben Tre, where on arrival you will transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in afternoon. Enjoy a night out or relax in the comfort of your hotel.
