From the nations capital you will head to the wonders of the World Heritage listed Ha Long Bay, where we cruise the crystalline emerald waters on our private boat and fishing on Ha Long bay, where we overnight.
Returning to Ha Noi for a brief stopover, we continue onto the old Imperial capital of Hue. This quiet provincial city is ideal for cycling around and visiting some of the many old royal tombs and pagodas. The picturesque port town of Hoi An, a favorite with many travelers, is our next stop. There is plenty of time to discover what Hoi An has to offer, whether it is visiting one of the many pagodas or spending time in the silk shops having a new wardrobe tailored. You may prefer cycling to the beach about 6 km away, or maybe exploring the waterway with the local women rowing you in their small boats, visiting the boat yards and ceramic villages. One thing is certain; you will not get bored in this town.
Boarding another flight, we move onto the popular beach city of Nha Trang. While in Nha Trang, you will have a day cruising around the islands off the coast, visiting a local fishing village, swimming and snorkeling on some of the coral reefs that surround these islands. A sumptuous fresh, seafood lunch will be served on board to satisfy those hunger pains. After arriving back in port there will be free time to shower, change and relax, atone of the many beach font restaurants. Our next leg will be the short flight to Ho Chi Minh city (Sai Gon) where we will have a city tour and a trip to visit the Cu Chi tunnels. This amazing network of tunnels stretched for over 250 km and is three-level deep; give the visitor a unique experience and a feel of underground life during the American war. Back to Ho Chi Minh city. There is a dinner in style for the last meal together. Free time to catch up on that last minute shopping.
