If you’d prefer not to visit Halong Bay, we can recommend other overnight trips, or alternatively you can add that night to another stop.

✈️ UK – Hanoi (3 nights): After your flight from your chosen UK airport to Hanoi, we’ll meet you on arrival and transfer you to your hotel. You’ll then spend three nights in Vietnam’s charming capital, a city that beautifully blends old-world elegance with lively street life. Discover its French colonial architecture, tree-lined boulevards and the bustling Old Quarter. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in the city’s world-famous street food, take a stroll around tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake, or experience a traditional water puppet show, one of Vietnam’s most captivating cultural highlights.

⛵ Hanoi – Halong Bay (Optional 1 night): If you choose to visit Halong Bay, after your stay in Hanoi we’ll collect you from your hotel and transfer you to the coast, where you’ll embark on an overnight Junk Boat cruise through this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site. Glide between limestone karsts, hidden lagoons and emerald waters, stopping to explore caves or swim in secluded coves. Despite the name, ‘Junk Boat’ refers to the traditional style of ship, not its condition and you’ll spend the night in comfort aboard a beautifully crafted wooden vessel, enjoying the peace and romance of this spectacular setting.

✈️ Hanoi – Hue (2 nights): We’ll then transfer you back to Hanoi Airport for your flight south to Hue. On arrival, we’ll meet you and take you to your hotel for a two-night stay. Often referred to as Vietnam’s most beautiful city, Hue is steeped in imperial history. Cruise along the Perfume River, explore the grand Tombs of the Emperors and visit the Citadel, once home to Vietnam’s Nguyen Dynasty. With elegant pagodas, temples and riverside gardens, Hue offers a peaceful glimpse into the country’s regal past.

🚗 Hue – Hoi An (5 nights): After your time in Hue, we’ll transfer you overland to the beautiful town of Hoi An, with the option to take the scenic Hai Van Pass route via the Marble Mountains, one of Vietnam’s most picturesque drives. Hoi An is a team favourite, and it’s easy to see why. Spend five nights exploring this UNESCO-listed gem, where colourful lanterns light up cobbled streets, historic merchants’ houses line the river, and the beach is just a short ride away. Visit the Japanese Covered Bridge, browse the local markets, and enjoy the nearby city of Danang.

✈️ Hoi An – Ho Chi Minh (3 nights): Next, we’ll transfer you to Danang Airport for your flight to Ho Chi Minh City, where we’ll meet you on arrival and take you to your final hotel. Spend three nights discovering Vietnam’s most dynamic city, a fascinating blend of French colonial charm and fast-paced modern life. Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, explore the Mekong Delta’s sleepy riverside villages, or simply enjoy soaking up the atmosphere in one of Asia’s most captivating cities.

✈️ Ho Chi Minh – UK: On your final day, we’ll collect you from your hotel and transfer you to the airport for your flight home to the UK.
