Travel Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival in Hanoi - City Tour & Water Puppet Show
Your journey begins as you arrive at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, where our representative welcomes you and whisks you into the city’s vibrant embrace. The day unfolds with a visit to Ba Dinh Square, a historic site where Vietnam’s independence was declared, followed by the imposing Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, a tribute to the nation’s revered leader. Nearby, the delicate One Pillar Pagoda rises like a lotus from its pond, offering a glimpse of ancient architecture. The exploration continues at the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, steeped in Confucian heritage. As evening descends, settle in to enjoy the renowned Water Puppet Show, a traditional art form that brings Vietnamese folklore to life on a watery stage. Afterward, check into your Hanoi hotel for a restful night.
Day 2 - Hanoi to Halong Bay - Overnight Cruise
After breakfast, embark on a scenic four-hour drive to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its emerald waters and over 1,000 limestone islands. Upon arrival, board a traditional wooden junk boat, where the crew welcomes you with a fresh seafood lunch as you glide through the bay’s surreal landscape. The afternoon unfolds with visits to mystical caves carved into the karsts and quaint floating villages, offering a peek into local life on the water. As the sun sets, relax on the deck or dive into onboard activities—watch a movie, play board games, or try your hand at squid fishing under the stars. Spend the night anchored in the bay, lulled by the gentle waves.
Day 3 - Halong Bay to Hanoi - Morning Cruise & Free Eveningv
Rise to the serene beauty of Halong Bay, greeted by a light breakfast of cakes, fruits, tea, and coffee as the boat continues its journey through the mist-draped islands. Take in the morning tranquility, capturing photos of the dramatic scenery before checking out of your cabin. A hearty brunch is served on board as you cruise back to the harbor, arriving by midday for the four-hour drive back to Hanoi. The afternoon and evening are yours to explore—wander the bustling Old Quarter, shop for souvenirs, or, if it’s a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, immerse yourself in the lively Weekend Night Market. Return to your Hanoi hotel for a comfortable night’s stay.
Day 4 - Hanoi to Tam Coc - Boat Trip & Pagoda Visit
Following breakfast, set off on a two-hour journey to Tam Coc in Ninh Binh province, often dubbed "Halong Bay on land" for its striking limestone karsts rising from emerald rice fields. Upon arrival, climb aboard a small rowboat for a peaceful ride along the Ngo Dong River, gliding through the Tam Coc caves—three natural tunnels carved by water over millennia. The surrounding scenery, with jagged peaks and lush paddies, offers a serene contrast to Hanoi’s bustle. After disembarking, visit Bich Dong Pagoda, a historic temple nestled into a hillside, blending nature and spirituality. Enjoy a local lunch before returning to Hanoi by afternoon, arriving at your hotel with the evening free to relax or explore further.
