From the heights of the Himalayas to the southern coasts of the South China Sea, winding over 2,700 miles, the Mekong is much more than just irrigation for Indochina—everywhere it flows, it fascinates men and shapes their lives. Come take an expedition on this grand and plentiful “water snake,” from the ruins of Angkor to Tonle Sap river following the footsteps of Henri Mouhot, to Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City, still largely influenced by the French colonial days. Our meditative trip takes you along the Mekong River on board a ship combining charm and colonial-style comfort.

Book this tour and enjoy an incredible cruising experience in Vietnam. Start your journey from Hanoi, where you will be picked up by our representative and transferred to La Pinta Cruise. Board the cruise and sail past the islets Da Chong, Con Vit and Gia Luan.
Cruise to Lan Ha Bay, whose limestone outcroppings and emerald waters are equally as impressive as that of the Ha Long bay but often sees less boats and travellers as compared with its more popular twin. The bay is also known for its beautiful beaches and mysterious caves.
Stop at Vung Tra Bau. Choose between either kayaking or swimming in its emerald waters before heading to the world-famous Ha Long Bay. See its towering limestone islands, called karst, which are covered with rainforests. Enjoy the beauty of its emerald waters and see various islets around it.
Explore the traditional fishing village of Viet Hai, located in the middle of a jungle, on a bicycle (you will travel around 5km on your bike). Observe the life of the people and the natural beauty of the place.
Observe local fishermen netting their catch. Learn to prepare well-known Vietnamese cuisine during this trip. Fish squids in calm waters in the evening. This cruise has been designed with your utmost comfort and entertainment in mind. Admire panoramic views of the bay and the surrounding areas from the cruise. Give us the opportunity to serve you and we will ensure that you will never forget your La Pinta memories.
I fully recommend fellow travels to trust this operator to organise your travel plans. They arranged visa, accommodation , day tours , pick up from the airport, domestic flights and car travel including 3 days and 2 nights Halong Bay cruise. Most importantly, they were contactable at every step of our trip. Everything was up to perfection which I am sure western world envy. Thanks again Minh and Danny for making our journey to beautiful Vietnam a fond remembrance to keep for ever. I could not in my wildest dream believe that such honest and trustworthy tour operators exist in this world. Thanks again.

Vietnam is home to many highlights and wonders spread throughout the vast length of the diverse country.
This unbeatably priced tour gives you 5 days to explore what Hanoi and Halong, two of the best spots in the country, have to offer. Experience both the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and the calm and tranquility of the world-famous UNESCO Halong Bay with its emerald waters.
In Hanoi, take a one-of-a-kind tour by cyclo and see a traditional water-puppet show. See the best sites of the city including Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh's house on stilts, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Museum of Ethnology and the Temple of Literature.
In Halong Bay, enjoy a boat cruise and spend a day and a half exploring the stunning seascape and natural rock formations from the decks of a traditional Vietnamese boat.
Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site -- and you'll be reminded of this several times throughout your tour. UNESCO has picked out 830 World Heritage sites around the world, chosen for their cultural and historical importance, and also for their geological uniqueness. Halong Bay offers a little of all three.
It's not the cliffs themselves that make Halong Bay unique, but rather their sheer number. A huge bay, dotted with nearly 2,000 mostly uninhabited limestone cliffs, the breathtaking scenery is very similar to that of the Andaman coast of Thailand, Vang Vieng in Laos and Guilin in China.
