Vietnam from North to South

Vietnam from North to South Overview

Experience all the highlights of Vietnam, from Halong Bay to the Mekong Delta, on this active adventure

Wander the smoky streets of Hanoi, trek amongst North Vietnam's verdant rice terraces, explore the delta of the mighty Mekong River and experience the nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City on this voyage through Vietnam. We start out in the 1000 year old city of Hanoi, where we explore the maze like streets of the ‘Old Quarter'. Travelling inland we spend 4 days trekking between villages in the Pu Luong National Park, sleeping in stilted houses, and experiencing rural life in an area where the fields are still ploughed by water buffalo and irrigated by wooden water wheels.  We'll explore the impressive limestone spires at Tam Coc, known as Halong Bay on land, before heading on to Halong Bay itself, for some great seafood and a night on a traditional junk. Our journey south begins with an overnight journey on the famous ‘Reunification Express' sleeper train. Arriving in Hue, we cruise the Perfume River in search of imperial palaces and pagodas before visiting Hoi An, known for its lantern lit bridges and skilled tailors. Next we explore the canals, mangroves and floating markets of the Mekong Delta, the ‘rice bowl of Vietnam'. We will take time to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, a remnant of the Vietnam war, before on we end our holiday with a night in lively Ho Chi Minh City where we can experience the city's evocative mix of ancient pagodas and modern skyscrapers.
