10 days of Vietnam unforgettable beach vacation

You’ll start the second day of your adventure with a motorbike tour of Hanoi – specifically on vintage Minsk ones. Before departing, you will be thoroughly informed about the rules of traffic and of course be responsible by our experienced drivers.

The opening of the day will be introducing you to “the REAL HANOI” by showing the daily life of locals. Your friendly companions take you through backstreets, tiny alleys, local homes, schools, random markets, and the black market so you can see how people live, work, and play there. This is your chance to immerse yourself and blend into the soul of our elegant capital – a unique, ambiguous and abstract beauty that is rarely mentioned.

You will not only see the good things but also the ugliness and weirdness of Hanoi as it is. Consequently, you will fall in love with a perfectly imperfect Hanoi any one way over another, like the way you fall in love with your lover regardless of her lovely flaws.

Of course, our courteous drivers will then take you pass by and stop at must-see places such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum-the Mecca of Vietnamese, the 1000-year-old Buddhist and Taoist temples of Tran Quoc, the historical training track, the enchanting French Quarter, the hustling and relevant Old Quarter, the romantic lakes of Hoan Kiem, West Lake, the Hanoi Opera House, and the famous Long Bien Bridge. Make sure you prepare a good mood and a camera with plenty of capacity to capture these beautiful memories.

After that, temporarily away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city, you are going to be taken to the poetic and peaceful villages and floating communities along the Red River to enrich your experiences of the contrast in the harmony of life between the city and the countryside of Hanoi.

Last but not least, we will take you to different authentic local restaurants, eateries and food stalls to fill your hungry stomach after a long day trip. Because food is the key to connecting people, it would be a mistake to miss the chance to savor the tastiest of the tasty dishes of Hanoi, including family heirlooms and secret recipe dishes, local delicacies, and specialties.

The evening will be the time for you to rest and prepare for the journey tomorrow morning.

Overnight in Hanoi.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.

Ha Noi Bun Cha street food

Limestone outcrops blanketed in lush vegetation rise from the still, jade-colored water. Your boat glides smoothly across the glassy surface, the shapes and shadows of the islets changing as you navigate this watery paradise. That is Lan Ha Bay, the beautiful neighbor of Halong Bay. Although belonging to a different province, Lan Ha is essentially an extension of Halong Bay and offers the same mesmerizing scenery. Lying southeast of Cat Ba Island, fewer boats make their way to Lan Ha, meaning you’ll enjoy this idyllic setting without the busy crowds.

As you weave through the islands, you’ll come across secluded bays, white sandy beaches, and floating villages. There are caves to explore, and islands to cycle on, and the pristine waters are perfect for swimming and kayaking. Your boat will be your home away from home as you explore Lan Ha Bay, and there are few experiences as magical as watching the sunrise from the comfort of your cabin, then watching it sink behind the sparkling water as the day draws to an end.

Overnight onboard on Lan Ha Bay.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Ha Long Bay landscape view in sunset

The morning sun stretches over the karsts and the shimmering calm sea. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee is enough to bring you to an exciting alert. The cruise continues to sail along the fabulous scenery of the surrounding bay.

You come to the fishing village of Viet Hai, one of Vietnam’s last remaining hidden gems, largely untouched by industrial development. It lies nestled on the eastern side of Cat Ba and is inaccessible by road from the rest of the island – hence its isolation. The 300-person village was founded before the designation of Cat Ba National Park, and thus parts of the village still remain within the park, making for a uniquely beautiful setting. This is where you can really get to grips with local Vietnamese life, including tree-planting with the locals, learning how wine is fermented, fishing, and animal farming.

After disembarking from the cruise ship, you can access Viet Hai by bicycle or electric buggy. The visit takes between one and two hours. Your private driver is waiting for you at the dock to send you back to Noi Bai Airport. After departing from Hanoi by air and arriving in Danang, you are met by your private transfer and taken to the charming city of Hoi An, where the merchant past shaped its quintessential presence within the elegant architecture and sleepy town atmosphere.

Hoi An offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, allowing your family to unwind and slowly absorb the charms of this small town on the coast.

You can experience a slow-paced lifestyle by taking a city tour of UNESCO landmarks. On the walking tour, you will visit original temples, ancient houses, and community halls while fragrant food stalls dot the sidewalks, allowing locals to share their culinary culture. The second part of this morning is learning how to make a colorful lantern. You will visit a family with a tradition of making lanterns. Here, you can see many different types of lanterns, and with the guidance of a lantern craftsman, you will make your favorite lantern.

Enjoy a tasty lunch and walk back to the hotel. It’s time for your children to enjoy the hotel’s swimming pool and relax at the beach while you can try massage packages, which are inexpensive, enjoyable, and relaxing.

Spend your time drifting around the Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Areas, hitting the top deck for sunbathing, or staying cool in the shade with complimentary cakes and coffee on our double-decked boats. The pretty coral reefs formed around the outer islands include around 135 species of coral and over 200 species of tropical fish. It’s lots of fun with quality snorkeling equipment for everyone, including kids of all ages. Our tour is also perfect for mixed groups of divers and snorkelers.

But it’s not just about snorkeling. Enjoy lunch on Cham Island at spectacular Bai Chong beach in a bamboo-style restaurant under the coconut trees. After lunch, you have free time on Bai Chong with more swimming, frisbee, volleyball, or just relaxing in a hammock or deck chair with a cool drink and a sensational view. It’s selfie heaven. You finish the perfect day with a slow cruise back to Hoi An as local fishing boats depart Hoi An’s Thu Bon River, enjoying stunning views. A photographer’s delight!
