Northern Viet Nam 5 Days 4 Nights (Hanoi, Sapa & Halong)

Start & end in Hanoi 5 days Up to 30

About this trip

Five days that take you from Hanoi's old streets to the terraced hills of Sapa and out onto the water in Halong Bay. It's a proper mix of city, mountain and sea in a short space of time, so expect movement most days.

You'll spend time on foot in the Muong Hoa Valley, meeting H'mong communities along the way, before switching pace entirely for a cruise and some kayaking among Halong Bay's limestone karsts.

What you'll do

  • Wander Hanoi's old quarter, the so-called 'Paris of the East'
  • Hike through Sapa's Muong Hoa Valley
  • Visit H'mong villages and learn traditional crafts
  • Cruise Halong Bay and kayak among the karsts
  • Climb Titov Peak for views over the bay
Good to know
  • Fast-paced given the length — you cover Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay all in five days
  • Involves genuine hiking in Sapa, so bring proper footwear
  • Partially guided, with private rooms throughout
