10 DAYS VIETNAM DISCOVERY

DAY 1: SAIGON ARRIVAL

Welcome to Vietnam! Upon arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, your local guide will greet you with a warm smile and transfer you to your hotel in the heart of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Take some time to settle in after your flight. Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to explore the lively streets nearby — the aroma of street food, the buzz of motorbikes, and the vibrant energy of Vietnam’s largest city will be your first taste of the country’s rhythm. Overnight in Saigon.

DAY 2: MEKONG DELTA TOUR

After breakfast, leave the city behind and travel to My Tho, gateway to the Mekong Delta. Board a motorboat to cruise along the mighty Mekong River, passing floating houses and lush islands. Stop at a local family’s home to enjoy tropical fruits, honey tea, and homemade rice wine, while listening to traditional Vietnamese folk music performed by villagers. Take a sampan ride through narrow palm-shaded canals to experience the delta’s peaceful charm up close. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Saigon in the late afternoon. Overnight in Saigon.

DAY 3: SAIGON AT LEISURE

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Today is free for you to discover Saigon at your own pace. You might visit Ben Thanh Market for local crafts and souvenirs, explore the city’s colonial architecture, or simply relax at a rooftop café overlooking the busy streets below. Optional tours are available, such as visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels or a half-day city highlights tour including the Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, and War Remnants Museum. Overnight in Saigon.

DAY 4: SAIGON FLY TO DANANG & HOI AN

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to Danang. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and drive toward Hoi An. On the way, stop to explore the Marble Mountains — a cluster of five limestone hills representing the five elements. Visit Xa Loi Tower, Tam Thai Pagoda, and Huyen Khong Cave, where natural light pours through the openings, illuminating statues of Buddha and creating a mystical atmosphere. Arrive in the ancient town of Hoi An, check in at your hotel, and spend the evening strolling through lantern-lit streets, riverside cafés, and charming boutiques. Overnight in Hoi An.

DAY 5: BANA HILLS TOUR

After breakfast, depart for an exciting full-day trip to Ba Na Hills, one of Vietnam’s most famous mountain resorts. Ride the world’s longest cable car up to the top and enjoy breathtaking views of lush forests and misty peaks. Visit Le Jardin d’Amour Flower Garden, the beautiful Linh Ung Pagoda, and the iconic Golden Bridge, held by a pair of giant stone hands — one of the most photographed landmarks in Vietnam. Enjoy a buffet lunch at the mountaintop restaurant, then continue exploring the French Village, Fantasy Park, and other attractions before descending by cable car. Return to Hoi An in the late afternoon. Overnight in Hoi An.

DAY 6 : DANANG FLY TO HANOI

After breakfast, enjoy a relaxing morning at leisure — perhaps browsing tailor shops, enjoying a coffee by the river, or visiting a local market. Later, transfer to the airport for your flight to Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. Upon arrival at Noi Bai International Airport, meet your guide and transfer to the city centre. The evening is free to relax or explore the Old Quarter, where street food stalls and colonial architecture create a lively atmosphere. Overnight in Hanoi.

DAY 7: HALONG BAY OVERNIGHT CRUISE

After breakfast, leave the city behind for a scenic drive to Halong Bay, one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Watch as the landscape changes from bustling streets to peaceful rice paddies and limestone peaks in the distance. Upon arrival at the pier, board your Cruise and enjoy a refreshing welcome drink as the crew introduces the program. Savour a delicious seafood lunch as your boat begins gliding through emerald waters dotted with towering limestone islands. In the afternoon, visit Luon Cave by bamboo boat and stop at Titov Island — a perfect spot for swimming or climbing to the top for panoramic views of the bay. Back on board, relax with a cocktail on deck while the sun sets over the karsts. Dinner is served with a fine selection of local dishes, followed by evening options such as squid fishing, karaoke, or a rejuvenating spa treatment (optional). Overnight on the cruise.

DAY 8: HALONG BACK TO HANOI

Wake up early to join a Tai Chi session on the sundeck, surrounded by misty limestone peaks. Enjoy a light breakfast as the boat sails toward the day’s highlight. Visit the impressive Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Halong Bay. Return to your cabin to check out, then enjoy a buffet brunch of Vietnamese specialties while cruising back to the harbor. Disembark and transfer back to Hanoi, arriving in the afternoon. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore the city’s vibrant café culture. Overnight in Hanoi.

DAY 9: HANOI MORNING TOUR

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore the capital’s most iconic landmarks. Your first stop is the Ho Chi Minh Complex, where you’ll visit Ba Dinh Square, the historic site of Vietnam’s Declaration of Independence, and see Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum (outside view). Nearby stands the elegant One Pillar Pagoda, built in the 11th century and shaped like a lotus flower rising from the water — a symbol of purity. After a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant, take a walking tour through the Old Quarter, a labyrinth of narrow streets where each lane is named after a traditional craft — silk, paper, jewelry, and more. Enjoy the charming mix of French colonial buildings, temples, and tiny cafes serving Hanoi’s famous egg coffee. Back to your hotel for a free afternoon. Overnight in Hanoi.

DAY 10: HANOI DEPARTURE

Enjoy your final breakfast in Vietnam. The morning is free for last-minute shopping or relaxation until your transfer to Noi Bai International Airport for your flight home.
