From Hanoi to Phnom Penh: 17-Day Mekong Delta Discovery

Seventeen days from Hanoi down to Phnom Penh, covering a lot of ground across Vietnam before crossing into Cambodia. This is a full sweep — mountains, coast, cities, and river delta, so expect a fair bit of movement between bases.

You start in the north with Hanoi's Old Quarter and a trek through Sapa's hill villages, then head to Halong Bay for a night on the water. From there it's down through Hoi An and Hue before the pace shifts south into the Mekong Delta, ending with Cu Chi Tunnels and the border crossing to Phnom Penh.

It suits people who want the classic Vietnam-to-Cambodia route done properly, with guided context at each stop rather than working it out yourself.

What you'll do

• Trek between Sapa's Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai and Ta Van villages
• Overnight cruise on Halong Bay with kayaking and squid fishing
• Wander Hoi An's old town and take a boat on the Thu Bon River
• Explore Hue's Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda and royal tombs
• Visit Can Tho's floating markets and Tra Su bird sanctuary
• Crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels before crossing into Phnom Penh
