Explore Hanoi, Ha Long Bay & Pu Luong with G Adventures

Day 1-2: Hanoi

Begin your Vietnamese escapade in the vibrant capital city of Hanoi. A trip to Hanoi would not be complete without hopping on the back of a motorbike and exploring the streets. Your guides and drivers, empowered women from a local organisation, will lead you to Hanoi’s iconic landmarks including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, and Huu Tiep Lake.

Indulge your taste buds on a street food tour of Hanoi. Wander through the bustling markets of the Old Quarter, sampling local delicacies and mingling with the friendly locals before capping off your day with a refreshing Bia Hoi at a streetside bar.

Day 3: Ha Long Bay

Next, head to the stunning coastline of Ha Long Bay for an overnight stay. Cruise on a traditional junk boat, gliding through 5000yr old Limestone mountains as you savour delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Embark on a guided kayaking adventure as you paddle through the breathtaking Luon Cave.

Day 4-5: Pu Luong

Disembark in Pu Luong for a taste of the region's natural beauty highlighted by an incredible stay at the Pu Luong Natura Resort. Experience an exciting bamboo rafting adventure to Ban Cong Village and engage in an immersive cooking demonstration with your local hosts before floating back through the picturesque landscape to your idyllic hotel.

Day 6-8: Hoi An

Travel south to Hoi An, a city whose name means "peaceful meeting place" in Vietnamese. Arrive in the late afternoon and head to the Green Mango Café for a culinary delight - a hands-on cooking class, where you'll learn to prepare traditional dishes and enjoy them for dinner.

Explore Hoi An on a half-day walking tour with your group and CEO. Wander the charming streets and discover the rich history of landmarks like the Cantonese merchant house, Chua Cau (Japanese Covered Bridge) and Ong Pagoda.

Your final day in Hoi An starts with your choice of two exclusive curated day adventures, choosing between a guided tour of the My Son Ruins to learn about Cham history and culture or a kayaking adventure through the mangroves to a local fishing village, soaking in the scenic views.

Day 9-11: Ho Chi Minh City

Conclude your journey in the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City. Experience the city's vibrant energy on a cyclo (cycle rickshaw) tour. Your guide will share fascinating insights as you visit the Independence Palace and War Remnants Museum before finishing the day on a sunset boat ride in the big city.

Explore the iconic Cu Chi tunnels, a testament to the enduring Vietnamese spirit and people, and discover their wartime tragedies. Although the tunnels are your destination, the journey en-route allows you to take the time to enjoy a bicycle ride through the countryside to explore the traditional way of life that still thrives today.

Rise early on your final morning for a last Vietnamese breakfast with your group, then say your goodbyes before heading to the airport for your departure.
