Itinerary

Trade tourist trails for secluded tracks, venturing deep into the remote reaches of northern Vietnam for a unique hiking adventure. Emerald rice terraces and surreal landscapes await, but this trip is so much more than a scenic hike. Meet Dao silversmiths and fire dancers, sleep in an authentic local homestay, and cruise among the limestone pinnacles of Lan Ha Bay. Our stay at an eco-retreat with soothing hot springs will be one to remember, while your local tour leader helps you experience northern Vietnam as only an insider can.

day 1Adventure starts in Hanoi

Begin your adventure in Hanoi, a delicious first taste of Vietnamese culture. Whether you’re buying baguettes and inexpensive coffee from the grand doorways of a past era, drifting alongside Hoan Kiem Lake or roaming the animated streets, the capital will delight your senses.
Around 6pm, say xin chào to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Vietnamese welcome by arranging dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Great tour package for us. Very reasonably priced. A phone call with customer service helped clarify scheduling coordination concerns. Booking was a straight forward and an uncomplicated process. We are excited about our planned adventure. Our only problem was in inputting the discount code correctly to achieve the advertised discount. Just didn’t happen.
