Itinerary Map

Itinerary Highlights

Emerald Dreams of Ha Long Bay

Halong Bay stirs the soul with thousands of limestone pillars rising from emerald waters, best explored by junk boat or kayak into hidden caves and quiet lagoons. Nearby, Hanoi brims with history and charm: stroll the Old Quarter's maze of streets, pause at serene Hoàn Kiếm Lake and cross the red bridge to Ngọc Sơn Temple. From vibrant markets to French-inspired boulevards, Hanoi pairs ancient tradition with a lively, modern spirit.

Cultural Crossroads in Da Nang

Da Nang is a gateway to central Vietnam's treasures. South lies lantern-lit Hội An, a UNESCO World Heritage gem of merchant houses and riverside beauty, while north lies Huế, the former imperial capital crowned by moated citadels and royal tombs. Just beyond the city, the Marble Mountains rise with caves and shrines offering sweeping views of coast and countryside. Da Nang itself blends sandy beaches, cultural heritage and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Beach Bliss in Nha Trang

Golden shores and turquoise seas make Nha Trang, Vietnam's beloved beach capital. Stroll the lively Trần Phú promenade or explore the ancient Po Nagar Cham Towers, a testament to the region's Hindu heritage. Climb to the giant White Buddha at Long Sơn Pagoda for sweeping city views, then dive into the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, home to colourful reefs and abundant marine life. Nha Trang is relaxation and discovery woven together by sea and sun.

Dynamic Ho Chi Minh City & the Mekong

Phú Mỹ opens the door to Ho Chi Minh City's dynamic contrasts and the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta. In the city, Ben Thanh Market hums with energy, historic landmarks tell wartime stories and buzzing streets brim with life. At the Củ Chi Tunnels, step into Vietnam's wartime history, or drift through the Mekong Delta past stilt houses, coconut groves and floating markets. It's a journey of culture, resilience and riverside calm.
