Seven Days Discover Real Charm North Vietnam

Start & end in Hanoi 7 days Up to 25

About this trip

Seven days across northern Vietnam, moving from the old streets of Hanoi to the limestone waters of Halong Bay and the terraced hills around Sapa.

You start in Hanoi's Old Quarter, then head out to the countryside for a bamboo boat ride through karst scenery often compared to Halong Bay, before cycling through villages to see everyday rural life. A night on a Halong Bay cruise follows, and the trip ends with trekking through Sapa's rice terraces and time with local minority communities.

It's a fully guided group trip pitched at an easy pace, built to give a rounded first look at Vietnam rather than deep-dive into any one region.

What you'll do

  • Stay in a hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter
  • Row by bamboo boat through the karst landscape known as Halong Bay on Land
  • Cycle to a local village to see countryside daily life
  • Spend one night on a cruise in Halong Bay
  • Trek the terraced rice fields around Sapa
  • Meet local minority communities in the Sapa hills
Good to know
  • Easy pace, suited to families and groups
  • Fully guided throughout
  • Mix of city, boat, cycling and trekking days, so pack for varied activity
