DETAILED ITINERARY

 
Day 1: Arrive Hanoi (D)
Upon arrival at Hanoi airport, you will be met by our local guide and transferred to your hotel in Hanoi. Depending on how much time you have, you may be able to briefly explore some of the city’s sites or just relax. In the late afternoon, we will have 1-hour cyclo (rickshaw) ride, winding through the Old Quarter of Hanoi, also know as the “36 Streets”. There are plenty ofphoto opportunities all around you. This tour is then followed by a traditional Water Puppet Show, a unique northern Vietnamese art form especially designed for depicting scenes from rural life and episodes of national history. Tonight we enjoy our welcome dinner in a local restaurant and return to our hotel for the night.
Overnight in Hanoi.
 
Day 2: Hanoi City Tour (B, L)
Our tour guide will meet us at our hotel and take us to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, as well as his former private residence between 1954 and 1969. We proceed to his house on stilts, the wooden traditional style house surrounded by peaceful gardens. In the same site is the One-Pillar Pagoda, one of the oldest Pagodas in Vietnam with its unique architecture. The structure has become an important symbol for the people of Hanoi and thousands of people pay their respects each year. The tour will continue to the Temple of Literature, which was known as the very first university of Vietnam (first built in 1076!). It also includes the Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the “Hanoi Hilton” during the American War. We take lunch at a local restaurant to sample some exotic Hanoi cuisine.
 
The afternoon will be filled with visits to the Museum of Ethnology where we can learn about Vietnam’s diverse culture, beliefs and ethnic distributions. Our bus will then take us to Hoa Kiem Lake (Sword Restored Lake) to see Ngoc Son Temple before returning us to our hotel for the night.
Overnight in Hanoi.
 
Day 3: Hanoi – Halong Bay (B, L, D)
Halong Bay is our destination today. We’ll take a 3.5-hour bus trip to Ha Long Bay through a picturesque countryside. We can even have a chance for photo-stops and a coffee break on the way. Once we board our boat in Halong Bay, we can enjoy a seafood lunch while we soak up the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage area. In the afternoon, the boat continues to cruise through the limestone karst formations, clear waters and hundreds of islets to discover. Towards the end of the day we will see Sung Sot Cave (Amazing Cave) – one of the largest caves in Halong bay. We will then return to the boat which will take us to where we’ll climb Titop Mountain for some sun-set panoramic pictures of the bay. Tonight we will enjoy a delicious dinner served by our crew. We will enjoy some cocktails to celebrate this special experience before retiring to our cabin for a good night sleep (the boat is fully equipped with twin-share cabin, toilets and ensuites).
Overnight on boat.
 
Day 4: Halong – Hanoi (Brunch)
We wake up with the sunrise, enjoy a buffet brunch on board and head back to the shore. We’ll arrive at the pier for disembarkation, where our driver will take us back to Hanoi. On the way back we will make a stop at Phu Lang Village, one of the last survivors of an old pottery village amidst the modern pressure of industrialization. We wander around the village and chat with the artisans at Nhung Workshop.
Overnight in Hanoi.
