Flexible Itinerary
As you step off the plane at Noi Bai International Airport, our warm-hearted guide will be there to greet you at the baggage claim area. Look for the sign adorned with our distinctive Asia Tour Advisor logo and your name. We'll take care of your comfortable transfer to your hotel while providing an introduction to the city en route. The remainder of the day is yours to settle in, unwind, and explore at your leisure.
Hanoi, Vietnam's capital city, is a haven for seven million people. Immerse yourself in its traditional elegance, featuring French colonial architecture, tree-lined boulevards, picturesque lakes, and the vibrant Old Quarter. Observe locals practicing Tai Chi by the lake, and savor the sights and sounds of barbers and food vendors conducting their sidewalk trade.
Begin your day with a delightful breakfast at your hotel, followed by a pickup from your local tour guide. Hanoi, with over 1,000 years of history, offers a treasure trove of cultural and historical sites to explore. You'll visit the imposing Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the resting place of "Uncle Ho," the delicate One Pillar Pagoda, Tran Quoc Temple, and the Quan Thanh Pagoda.
After a satisfying lunch, you can choose to explore the Temple of Literature, where ancient Vietnamese relics await your discovery. Alternatively, you may opt to visit Hoa Lo Prison or the Art/Women/History Museum before experiencing the charm of Railway Street. Your day culminates with a unique cultural performance at the water puppet theater, a captivating tradition from northern Vietnam.
Morning: Your journey into Pu Luong Nature Reserve begins with a picturesque road trip through a breathtaking mountain pass, offering panoramic views of the entire valley. You'll arrive at your accommodation in time for a delectable lunch, followed by leisure time to explore the retreat's stunning surroundings with captivating panoramic vistas and a serene ambiance.
Afternoon: A transfer takes you to a location approximately 12 km from the retreat, where your enchanting walk begins. You'll cross a suspension bridge over the Cham River and then follow the river's course, with the landscape unfolding before your eyes. Wander from village to village, uncovering remarkable water wheels that play a vital role in moving water from the river through handcrafted bamboo aqueducts, using ingenious constructions of all sizes.
Your journey leads to Chieng Lau village, where you can take a moment to relax and relish the tranquil streamside scenery. Afterward, you'll walk to the main road and be transferred back to Pu Luong Retreat for a delightful dinner.
Morning: Embrace the opportunity to immerse yourself in village life as you interact with locals residing in the hills above the retreat. Gain insights into daily life, stroll amidst working farmland and rice fields, and discover the art of crafting colorful textiles. Lunch will be served at the Lodge.
Afternoon: Bid farewell to Pu Luong and set out for Ninh Binh. Upon your arrival, check into your hotel and unwind.
After breakfast, your tour guide will escort you to Tam Coc, where you'll board a sampan to navigate the Ngo Dong River and explore its three caves.
Optional: Embark on an exciting biking adventure around Tam Coc (additional fee of approximately USD 5/bike applies).
Around midday, indulge in a delectable lunch. The journey continues with a visit to Hoa Lu, an ancient capital of Vietnam. Explore the Ding King Temple and Le King Temple, both dating back to the 10th century, and delve into the heroic histories of these two kings during the Chinese Wars.
Next, venture to Mua Cave, a place brimming with captivating stories. Ascend 500 stone steps to enjoy a mesmerizing panoramic view of the countryside and the Ngo Dong River.
As the day unfolds, return to Hanoi and enjoy some free time at leisure.
We will pick you up from your Hanoi hotel and embark on a picturesque journey through the verdant Red River Delta to reach the renowned UNESCO World Heritage site, Halong Bay. Upon arrival, you'll board a luxurious junk ship for an enchanting overnight cruise. As you relax on board, marvel at the incredible limestone karsts that rise from the sea, surrounded by thousands of jungle-clad islands, creating a timeless and enchanting world.
While you savor a fresh seafood lunch, you can unwind and take in the breathtaking scenery, holding a refreshing drink in hand. We'll take you to a traditional fishing village where locals have established an entire community on their boats. Explore Tien Ong Cave before returning to the cruise for cocktails, canapés, and a magnificent sunset. Conclude your day with a romantic, candlelit dinner.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Accommodation: Overnight on cruise
Begin your day with a Tai Chi class on deck, set against the early morning mist, or simply savor the beauty of the sunrise over the azure waters. Choose between an excursion to a secluded island with a sandy beach for a refreshing swim or join the chef for a cooking demonstration to delve deeper into Vietnamese cuisine. As your junk gracefully cruises through Halong Bay, passing islets and caves, enjoy a leisurely brunch.
Upon disembarkation, your driver will meet you and transfer you to Noi Bai Airport for your evening flight home.
