HIGHLIGHTS:
Hanoi - Ha Long Bay - Pu Luong - Hoi An - Ho Chi Minh City
Falling in love with Vietnam is almost too easy. With its warm people, delicious food, and rich history, it really is the total package. Lucky for you, our 11-day adventure covers all the highlights - from a night on a junkboat in Halong Bay to cycling to the Cu Chi tunnels and cooking with a local chef in Hoi An. You'll dive even deeper into Vietnamese culture in Pu Luong, staying amongst a local community, trekking through rice terraces, and rafting downriver to explore the valley. You might not ever want to leave, and we don't blame you.
Day 1 Hanoi.
From the organized chaos of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to the soothing lush green terraces of Pu Luong, Vietnam pushes you to let go, step out of your comfort zone, and reconnect with your inner explorer. Vietnam can feel unfamiliar and familiar all at once. Try foods you have never even heard of before while being greeted with smiling hosts who feel like familiar friends. Welcome to Hanoi, and to Vietnam, and we invite you to dive in, push your limits, and refill your cup. Exclusive Inclusions: Your Welcome Moment Welcome Moment - Meet Your CEO and Group. Meals included: Dinner.
Day 2 Hanoi.
It wouldn't be a trip to Vietnam without hopping on the back of a motorbike. Your drivers and guides this morning are all women from a local organization dedicated to empowering women through employment as motorbike drivers in the tourism sector. These women will guide you through the city-stopping the motorbike to allow for exploration of all the must see stops. Walk around the perimeter of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and visit Ba Dinh Square and One Pillar Pagoda. Explore Huu Tiep Lake and Tran Quoc Pagoda. After working up an appetite, return to the Old Quarter for a huge bowl of Pho at a local restaurant. Slurping is highly encouraged. Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner.
Day 3 Ha Long Bay.
Standing as a symbol of centuries worth of discoveries by sea, the junk boat was first created in 3000 B.C. and throughout time the ship has been used by explorers and merchants alike. Now is your chance to spend a night aboard, embracing your inner explorer. (Albeit with way comfier pillows.) Glide through the steely waters in Halong Bay past limestone karst mountains and lush green islands and paddle a kayak through thousand year old caves. Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner.
Day 4 Pu Luong.
Tropical rainforest covers the low mountains that surround Pu Luong-with rice terraces as far as the eye can see. Villages dotted throughout the valley are like splashes of colour against a bright green painting. Trekking along the terraces, throughout villages, brings you face to face with day to day life in this picturesque corner of northern Vietnam.Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner. Your OMG Stay: Puluong Retreat.
Day 5 Pu Luong.
The village of Pu Luong lies just west of Hanoi, but feels a million miles away. Step out of your wooden bungalow to a vast landscape of green. Start the day with a rich coffee and fuel up for a morning trekking among the rice paddies. Pass by local villages and wave hello to local people as they move about their daily routines. Walk to Ban Cong and dig into a BBQ picnic lunch prepared for you by local chefs just along the riverbank. Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch. Your OMG Stay: Puluong Retreat.
Day 6 Hoi An.
Hoi An roughly translates to "a peaceful meeting place" and we promise it lives up to its name. Admittedly, it's hard to get more peaceful than the rice terraces of Pu Luong, but Hoi An offers a contrast to its northern neighbour. Where Pu Luong boasts serenity and calm, Hoi An offers conviviality and vibrancy. Explore this meeting place with a cooking class led by a local chef preparing a three course meal. Exclusive Inclusions: Your Foodie Moment Hoi An Cooking Class. Meals included: Breakfast | Dinner.
Day 7 Hoi An.
Discover the highlights of Hoi An with your CEO on an informative walking tour. Visit the Ong Pagoda, Chua Cau (Japanese Covered Bridge), and the local market. You're getting to know a lot about Hoi An-but what about the claim that its home to the best banh mi in Vietnam? You CEO will offer to show you to the best place in town (but no guarantees you won't acquire a serious banh mi craving from here on out). Meals included: Breakfast.
Day 8 Hoi An.
Hoi An is a must visit on any Vietnam itinerary because you can do it all here. From ancient ruins and fascinating architecture, to delicious food and active adventures-there is a dizzying array of things to see and do. You get to choose today between two curated choices. Embark on a kayaking adventure that takes you from the Cua Dai bridge down to a fishing village and beyond. If you would rather explore the ruins of My Son, join a local guide for comprehensive exploration of various complexes of the site, before returning to Hoi An by boat. Exclusive Inclusions: Your OMG Day Guided Tour of My Son Ruins or Old Town Mangrove Kayaking. Meals included: Breakfast.
Day 9 Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's most populated city with just around 9 million people calling it their home. For every 6 people, 1 motorbike enters the city on a daily basis. This organized chaos is a recognizable feature of many Vietnamese cities and learning to navigate the chaos is all part of the adventure. When you arrive in the afternoon, hop onto a pedaling cyclo to get a bit above the motorbike fray and tour the city with your knowledgeable guide. A sunset boat ride is peaceful way to end the day in the big city. Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch.
Day 10 Ho Chi Minh City.
The Cu Chi Tunnels remain a testament to the enduring spirit of the Vietnamese people and their ingenuity in the face of unthinkable wartime tradgedies. The tunnels may be your destination today, but the journey to gets you off the beaten track to discover more of Vietnam. Hop on a bicycle and pedal your way through the countryside en route to the the Cu Chi Tunnels. Meals included: Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner.
Day 11 Ho Chi Minh City.
Your adventure comes to end, and you can depart at any time. Meals included: Breakfast
