From misty mountains and riverside towns to vibrant cities and golden beaches, Vietnam is a country of constant contrast. Sail jungle-covered bays, cycle through rice paddies, or discover Hanoi’s backstreet food stalls. Rich in history and flavour, it’s a place that rewards curiosity and invites deeper exploration.
Explore Hanoi your way — hop in a vintage jeep, cycle quiet backstreets, or dive into its legendary street food scene. From lakeside temples to war-era relics and sizzling roadside pho, this buzzing capital is best discovered through its flavours, stories, and charming chaos.
Set off on one of Asia’s most dramatic road trips through Vietnam’s forgotten north. Over three or four days, your private driver guides you along the twisting Ha Giang Loop, crossing narrow mountain passes, through Dong Van UNESCO Global Geopark and across Ma Pi Leng Pass. You’ll stay in intimate hill‑tribe homestays and experience Tay and H’mong cultures far from the tourist trail.
Cycle through rice paddies, stilt-house villages, and quiet country lanes in Mai Châu. Stay in a peaceful eco-lodge surrounded by mountains, and share a traditional dinner with your hosts. It’s an easy-going intro to rural life, with options to hike or simply soak up the scenery.
Glide by rowboat through hidden temples, dramatic limestone cliffs and flooded cave tunnels in the peaceful UNESCO-listed landscape of Tràng An. Afterwards, climb the 500 stone steps to the top of Múa Cave for one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking panoramic views — a sea of jagged karsts and emerald rice fields stretching far below.
Just beyond Mai Châu, Pu Luong’s hills are alive with jungle, waterwheels, and stepped rice terraces. Hike through remote Thai villages and sleep in a rustic stilt-house or hillside eco-retreat. It’s Vietnam at its most untouched — quiet, green, and unforgettable.
Cruise through Bai Tu Long, the quieter twin of Ha Long Bay. Sleep aboard a boutique wooden junk, kayak into hidden lagoons, and visit floating fishing villages. With fewer tourists and wide open waters, it’s all the beauty without the bustle — peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for a slower pace of adventure.
Explore the walled citadel, emperor’s tombs, and faded pagodas of Vietnam’s former capital. Drift along the Perfume River or cycle into the countryside to visit traditional craft villages. Huế offers a gentler rhythm, rich history, and the chance to savour refined imperial cuisine that once fed kings.
Wander lantern-lit streets and riverside cafes in Hoi An’s historic Old Town. Join a cooking class, float in a basket boat, or cycle to nearby beaches. This UNESCO gem blends heritage, creativity and charm — where every turn reveals tailors, temples, and colourful traces of Vietnam’s trading past.
More than a springboard to Hoi An, Da Nang is a vibrant city with bewitching contrasts—from My Khe’s curved shoreline to the gleaming Dragon Bridge and the dramatic Marble Mountains. For panoramic luxury, head into the hills to walk the Golden Bridge at Bà Nà Hills and visit the hill‑top Linh Ung Pagoda.
High in the Hoang Lien Mountains, Sapa offers both gentle and challenging treks among emerald rice terraces. Walk through mist‑clad valleys toward Fan Si Pan, Vietnam’s highest peak, with options to spend nights in villages of H’Mong, Red Dao or Giay communities. Hospitality and sunrise views reward every step.
Sail through the lush backwaters of the Mekong, where floating homes and markets drift past in slow motion. Taste tropical fruit straight from the orchard, visit family-run workshops, and stay in a riverside eco-lodge or stilted homestay. It’s Vietnam at its most local, laid-back, and naturally beautiful.
Unwind on white-sand beaches, snorkel coral reefs, or head into the jungle-covered hills of Vietnam’s most beautiful island. Phú Quốc blends barefoot luxury with adventure — from laid-back fishing villages and hidden waterfalls to buzzing night markets and boat trips at sunset. A peaceful finale to any Vietnam journey.
This extraordinary journey through Vietnam has been designed for travellers who want more than a holiday — those seeking rare beauty, cultural insight, and unforgettable encounters. Over 19 carefully curated days, you’ll traverse the country from north to south in comfort and style, discovering its quiet elegance, vibrant traditions, and natural splendour along the way.
Your journey begins in Hanoi, Vietnam’s captivating capital. Here you’ll explore beyond the surface — winding through the Old Quarter by vintage Jeep or bicycle, uncovering French colonial gems, hidden temples, and stories told through street food. At day’s end, return to your boutique hotel and prepare for the adventures ahead.
Leaving the city behind, the landscapes open up into the serene valleys of Mai Châu. Cycle through rice paddies and traditional Thai villages, before venturing into the heart of the Pu Luong Nature Reserve — a secluded haven of limestone hills, bamboo forests and terrace-lined trails. Here, authentic hospitality meets rare tranquillity.
Continue south to Ninh Binh, often described as “Ha Long Bay on land,” where you’ll stay in a peaceful riverside retreat. Glide through hidden grottoes by sampan, visit ancient pagodas, and hike to panoramic viewpoints overlooking dramatic karst scenery.
From here, you’ll journey to Ha Long Bay itself — boarding a traditional yet refined junk boat for an overnight cruise across emerald waters. After soaking up the seascape, board the night train to Hue in a private sleeper cabin, arriving in Vietnam’s former imperial capital as dawn breaks.
In Hue, discover the timeless beauty of riverside tombs and royal citadels. Then journey south along the spectacular Hai Van coastal pass to Hoi An — a romantic riverside town lit by lanterns and steeped in culture. Here you’ll explore ancient lanes, cruise by bamboo basket boat, and learn the art of Vietnamese cuisine in a hands-on class.
A short flight takes you to Ho Chi Minh City, where sleek rooftop bars, French architecture and buzzing markets offer a modern counterpoint to the country’s northern grace. Visit the Cao Dai Temple — one of the world’s most unique religious sites — and walk through the historic Cu Chi tunnels with expert guides.
Then it’s time to immerse yourself in the Mekong Delta, exploring the waterways, islands and daily life of this fertile region. A private sampan and local hosts guide you through floating markets, traditional workshops and peaceful canals.
Finally, fly to the tropical island of Phu Quoc for a luxurious finish. Spend your final days unwinding by the turquoise sea — swimming, snorkelling, or simply indulging in the serenity of your beachfront retreat.
