Our North & Central Vietnamese adventure holiday commences in Vietnam’s sophisticated capital of Hanoi. The city can be explored on foot or via a traditional cyclo ride, where you can discover many interesting and some diverse sites that Hanoi keeps secret. Enjoy an extraordinary water puppet performance in one of Hanoi’s theatres, or take some time out to sip a glass of ice-cold coffee in one of the cafes next to Hoan Kiem Lake. Marvel at some wonderful examples of French colonial architecture and take a stroll down the tree-lined boulevards on the way to exploring the city’s old and French quarter with its extensive markets, art galleries, eateries and coffee shops. This surely is the perfect end to any getaway holiday to Vietnam.
After getting acquainted with Vietnam’s capital city on a city and countryside tour, your journey continues east to the UNESCO heritage site of Halong Bay. Once here you board a traditional junk boat and take an overnight cruise through the thousands of sharp limestone islets, where you can explore small hidden coves, impressive caves with glittering stalactites as well as floating communities that can be discovered by sea kayak.
After a fabulous discovery tour on the water you take a flight down to the seaside town of Nha Trang, where you have the remainder of your holiday to enjoy the beautiful turquoise waters and stunning white sandy beaches. Nothing is better than taking a few local day tours to explore the area, or alternatively, completely unwind and relax on the many beaches in the area. Making sure, that when you return home, you are totally rejuvenated and ready for the next chapter in your life.
