Schedule: Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Hanoi
Overview
Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Halong Bay are a triangle of destinations in Vietnam’s ancient Red River Delta, where culture and landscapes have historically bloomed forth and found a beautiful existence together. On Taste of North Vietnam 5 Day, we will show you three of the best destinations of northern Vietnam, ones that capture the enchanting essence of the region in its best traditional and natural attractions.
This Northern Vietnam Tour gives guests a cultural grounding in Hanoi, from where we will base ourselves for our explorations outside.
Vietnamese culture and tradition are strong in Hanoi, matched by the majesty of the countryside in Ninh Binh province to the south, where we will spend a day. A highlight on any tour of Vietnam is our last destination, Lan Ha Bay, forming the much less touristic southern part of world-famous Halong Bay. Here, we will embark on an overnight cruise, finding the same kind of incredible seascape that turned Halong Bay into a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but avoiding other cruise ships as we relax on our own.
