A Graceful Journey in Vietnam

This morning, you will arrive early at Lao Cai Station, where our local guide will be waiting to greet you. After a hearty breakfast at a nearby restaurant, a 30-kilometer drive will take you to your hotel in Sapa town, with check-in available from 1:30 PM.

Leave your luggage at the reception and set out with your guide on a scenic walk south of Sapa to the charming Cat Cat Village. Continue through the winding valleys toward Y Linh Ho, where terraced fields spill down the hillsides and a deep gorge reveals a rushing river below. Trek along gentle slopes, pausing to watch local children casting their nets in the water, a simple yet captivating moment of mountain life.

As you wander deeper, you’ll arrive at the terraced hamlets of the Black H’mong community. Take time to stroll at your own pace, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and admire the breathtaking landscapes that surround you. A stop at a local restaurant for lunch provides a chance to rest before returning to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Meals are in your own arrangement. Overnight at the hotel.

In the morning, follow a narrow mountain trail across the Muong Hoa River, where endless rice terraces unfold like a living canvas. Your journey takes you to a Black Hmong village, offering a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of one of Sapa’s most fascinating ethnic groups.

As you continue through a vibrant patchwork of fields, you’ll arrive at Lao Chai village. About 2 km before reaching it, cross a small suspension bridge and discover a remarkable collection of ancient rock carvings. These engravings - depicting people, stilt houses, and intricate decorative motifs - stand as timeless stories etched into stone.

The day is devoted to a scenic hike through the breathtaking Sapa valley. Pause for lunch amidst the sweeping terraces, where the landscape stretches endlessly in green and gold. Afterward, transfer back to your hotel in Sapa. The evening is yours to relax at leisure. Dinner is on your own. Overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast at your hotel, depart at around 8:30 AM for a scenic drive through the winding roads of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. Today, you will discover two of Sapa’s most iconic natural wonders.

Your first stop is the magnificent Silver Waterfall, cascading from a height of more than 200 meters. Surrounded by dense forests and cool mist, this waterfall is a refreshing escape and one of the most picturesque sights near Sapa.

From here, continue your journey uphill to Heaven Gate (Tram Ton Pass), the highest mountain pass in Vietnam at 2,035 meters above sea level. From this breathtaking viewpoint, admire sweeping panoramas of rolling mountains, deep valleys, and the towering Fansipan peak, famously known as the “Roof of Indochina.”

After taking in these unforgettable views, return to Sapa town and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. At 2:30 PM, you will transfer to the meeting point to board a comfortable limousine for your return journey to Hanoi.

You will arrive in Hanoi at approximately 8:00 PM, with a drop-off at your hotel to end the day.

After enjoying breakfast and checking out of your hotel in Hanoi, embark on a scenic 2.5-3-hour drive through the countryside to Halong Port. Upon arrival, the cruise team will welcome you warmly with refreshing drinks before you step aboard. Soon after, a freshly prepared lunch is served as your vessel glides into the emerald waters, surrounded by Halong Bay’s towering limestone cliffs.

The afternoon brings a variety of activities, from exploring hidden corners of the bay to simply relaxing on deck and taking in the awe-inspiring views. As the sun begins to set, retreat to the sundeck or your private cabin before gathering for a delicious dinner onboard. When night falls, sink into the tranquility of your cabin, cherishing the unique experience of sleeping on the bay.

As the first rays of sunlight kiss the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, you awaken to a tranquil morning and a leisurely breakfast on deck. The cruise gently carries you past mystical limestone islets, their timeless beauty unfolding before your eyes like a living painting.

After a warm farewell brunch, you disembark and return to Hanoi, your heart still lingering with the magic of the bay. The afternoon is free for you to relax until it’s time to board your flight to Da Nang.

Upon landing, a friendly driver awaits to escort you to your hotel in Hoi An. The evening is yours to wander the lantern-lit streets, soak in the old-world charm, and let the town’s gentle rhythm embrace you.

Start your morning with a fun and interactive tour in Hoi An, running from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM.

Your journey begins at a lively local market, where colorful produce and aromatic spices fill the air. Here, you can watch how locals select the freshest ingredients and even try choosing some yourself. From the market, step into a traditional round bamboo basket boat and drift gently through the serene coconut forest, keeping an eye out for playful purple crabs along the canals.

Cast a fishing net just as the villagers do, then relax with a refreshing welcome drink. A highlight awaits when the chef invites you into a hands-on cooking class. Together, you’ll prepare Vietnamese favorites, crispy spring rolls, fragrant pancakes, papaya salad, and tender braised chicken in a clay pot, served alongside soup and dessert.

As a sweet touch, you’ll take home printed recipes as a souvenir, a reminder of flavors and memories made here. The day concludes with a drop-off at your hotel, where the evening is yours to enjoy at leisure.

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup at 7:30 AM, followed by a breathtaking cable car ride up to Ba Na Hills. As you glide above the lush forests, sweeping views of Da Nang’s coastline unfold beneath you - a perfect start to the day.

At the summit, marvel at the world-famous Golden Bridge, stroll through the romantic Le Jardin D’Amour gardens, and find a moment of peace at the tranquil Linh Ung Pagoda. Another scenic cable car ride takes you higher, where the enchanting French Village awaits. With its cobblestone streets, lively street music, artistic sculptures, and vibrant carnival shows, it feels like stepping into Europe.

After enjoying a delicious buffet lunch, hop on the Lava Train to explore new attractions such as the majestic Helios Waterfall and the mystical Moon Kingdom. The excitement continues at Fantasy Park, filled with diverse games and thrilling rides for all ages.

As the day winds down, descend by cable car once more and relax on a comfortable minivan ride back to your hotel in Da Nang, arriving around 5:00 PM with memories of a truly magical day.

Today is free for you to enjoy at your own pace. You might wander through the old streets, discover hidden cafés, or spend time shopping for handicrafts at local markets. If you prefer something more relaxing, treat yourself to a soothing spa session or simply unwind by the pool. Meals are on your own. Overnight at the hotel.

In the morning, our driver will transfer you (without a guide) to Da Nang Airport for your flight to Ho Chi Minh City. Upon landing, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our local guide and driver before heading to your hotel for check-in. Lunch is by your own arrangement.

After a short rest, prepare for an exciting afternoon shopping adventure. Hop on the back of a motorbike and let your driver whisk you through the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City. From modern malls and trendy boutiques to bustling local markets, you’ll have the chance to hunt for chic outfits, unique souvenirs, and elegant gifts for your loved ones.

As the day winds down, you’ll be taken back to your hotel to relax. Dinner will be on your own, and you’ll spend the night in Ho Chi Minh City.

This morning we will leave the city by private vehicle to visit the amazing tunnel network of Cu Chi. This incredible system, covering almost 250km in length was shelter to over 16,000 Vietcong guerrillas during the wars. Initially started in 1948 to provide shelter against the French air and ground sweeps, the network went on to serve as communication routes, storage facilities, hospitals and living quarters for Vietnamese fighters throughout the American war.  If you are interested (and game) you can even descend into the tunnels to learn more about the harsh conditions faced by Vietcong guerrillas who lived there. Return to the city center and take a short rest. Lunch on your own. 

In the evening, you will be transferred to the bank of Saigon River and board the Bonsai Cruise to enjoy the buffet dinner while slowly cruising on the boat trip along the river. Then transfer back to the hotel to overnight.

Your journey to the Mekong Delta begins with a drive through vibrant countryside before arriving in My Tho, where the beauty of the river comes to life. Step aboard a boat and glide past lush green landscapes, watching local life unfold along the banks. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of coconut candy as you stop at family-run workshops, discover the art of puffed rice making, and take in the charm of village life on Thoi Son Islet.

Drift peacefully on a sampan through narrow canals shaded by water palms, and enjoy a hearty lunch of Mekong specialties that capture the flavors of the region. Afterward, cycle gently through quiet village paths or relax by the riverside, letting the slow rhythm of the Delta sink in.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll carry with you the serene beauty and warm hospitality of the Mekong, a memory to treasure long after returning to bustling Ho Chi Minh City.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before bidding farewell to Vietnam.
