DETAIL ITINERARY:

Day 1 Arrive Hanoi
Upon arrival we will be welcomed at the airport and delivered to our hotel. We will be given a briefing about traveling in Vietnam before enjoying a special welcome dinner at an excellent Vietnamese restaurant.
Today dinner included

Day 2 Hanoi – Dong Trieu
In the morning we will take a short tour of the Ho Chi Minh complex and Temple of Literature. Lunch will be the Hanoi specialty of "Bun cha". Then we will head off to the village of Phu Lang which specializes in a distinctive style of Vietnamese pottery. From there we will continue to the village of Dong Trieu, not far from Ha Long, where we will spend the night.
Today breakfast, Lunch included

Day 3 Dong Trieu – Ha Long
After breakfast we will stroll down village lanes where we can see farmers cultivating rice, children playing in school or in the shade of bamboo thickets. Our minibus will pick us up and take us on to Ha Long Bay where we will board a waiting cruise boat. We will cruise among amazing cliffs of limestone, mountains emerging from crystal clear water. After lunch we will leave the boat to hike through the most beautiful limestone cavern. The rest of the day will be available for swimming, kayaking (through a tunnel cave if you like), and by night to take in the thousands of stars in the sky above this haunting landscape. We will spend the night on board.
Today breakfast, Lunch, Dinner included

Day 4 Halong - Ninh Binh - Tam Coc
Our Ha Long cruise will finish after lunch. Our minibus will then pick us up and take us inland to a region in the south east of the Red River Delta called Tam Coc. Here the limestone pinnacles soar above the river flats to form an unforgettable landscape. We will stay in a guest house by the river.
Today breakfast, Lunch included

Day 5 Tam Coc – Phong Nha Cave
In the early morning when Tam Coc is barely woken, we will take a two hour boat journey, propelled only by the boatman's oars. Almost silently, we will slide through no fewer than three limestone tunnels that span the river's flow, emerging into the valley that slips like a corridor among the limestone precipices. Later we will bid goodbye to Tan Coc and take to the road again, arriving at Quang Binh.
Today breakfast, Lunch included

Day 6 Phong Nha Cave - Hue
We travel west to the recently declared World Heritage Site of Quang Binh where many astonishing limestone caverns can be found, including the world's longest underground river. Some of these caves were even used as an arms store by the Viet Cong. From Quang Binh, we will travel by road through the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that once separated North Vietnam from South. We will stop over at Vinh Moc tunnel complex, an underground village by the banks of the Ben Hai River. We will arrive in Hue.
Today breakfast, Lunch included

Day 7 Hue
The walled city of Hue is an ancient cultural centre and was for a time the capital of Vietnam. It was a key target of the North Vietnamese in the Tet Offensive and, following its capture was the site of a shocking purge of intellectuals and community leaders. But the rich heritage of cultural sites remain, the Forbidden Purple city , Royal Tomb's and many Pagodas. In the morning we will show you the inner Citadel with its enormous expanse of gardens, lakes and traditional public buildings, and to the Thien Mu pagoda. We will then cruise the Perfume River to the Tombs of the Kings Tu Duc and Khai Dinh.
Today breakfast, Lunch included

Day 8 Hue – Hoi An
We travel through the high pass of Hai Van with its spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean en route to Hoi An. Once a flourishing trading port servicing south east Asia, this quaint riverside town still boasts a wealth of centuries old traditional architecture. The influences of several Asian cultures can be seen in the old houses and waterside buildings. It is also famous as a place to get instantly created inexpensive tailored outfits.
Today breakfast included

Day 9 Hoi An – My Son Sanctuary
From Hue, we travel inland to My Son Holy land. This strange isolated complex of ancient stone buildings is believed to be a sacred place of the long lost Chapa kingdom.
