When you arrive in Hanoi, we will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in the center of the old quarter. Meet up with your tour companions and get pumped for the adventures ahead.

Today, we'll get right into the hustle and bustle of Hanoi with a walking and rickshaw tour of the city. Soak up the frenetic capital's daily life while filling up on spicy spring rolls and delectable street food. We'll go out for dinner and cocktails this evening to explore what Hanoi has to offer after dark.

We'll travel from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay, where we'll cruise the emerald green waters surrounded by limestone mountains, feeling as if we're not quite on Earth. The secret caverns and coves will be too tempting to pass up, so we'll hop in kayaks and explore further before settling in for the evening on our overnight yacht, complete with hot tub and bar.

The rice paddies and towering limestone mountains of Ninh Binh await us today, where we'll stay at a local homestay in traditional bungalows directly on the river.

We'll take to two wheels to weave through the rice farms before boarding a local row boat to visit the countryside getaway of Ninh Binh. We'll end our time here with a sunset walk to the Dragon Mountain viewpoint before boarding our nighttime train to Hoi An.

As we arrive this morning, the beautiful, ancient Hoi An will win you over in an instant. We'll check into our hotel, and then you'll have free this afternoon to explore, go shopping, or perhaps see a local tailor to get a custom suit or dress created.

Today, local fisherman will lead us through coconut plantations, teaching us the technique of crab fishing. We'll then participate in a hands-on cooking workshop to become Vietnamese food experts.

This morning, we'll learn how to make lanterns. We'll then hop on bicycles and go to the beach for a relaxing day at a beach club. We'll enjoy supper and cocktails by the sea!

Your fantastic 9-day adventure comes to an end here. Those heading home will make their way to the airport, or you can continue living the dream and extend your stay in Vietnam or South East Asia with our assistance and the new friends you've made.
