C'Mon My Love, We're Headed North!
Northern Vietnam offers incredible landscapes towards the border of China, and a variety of awesome adventures. Sample the cuisine and the culture on this Signature Trip.
Why you’ll love this adventure...
We designed this Signature Trip to make an extraordinary adventure easy. You’ll find yourself traipsing from Hanoi to Mai Chau, Ninh Binh, and Halong Bay. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking scenery, stunning views, and a variety of exciting cultural and outdoor activities.
How this itinerary will make your travel dreams come true…
It’s a worry-free adventure for two. Sample delicious ‘pho bo’ from the bustling streets of Hanoi. Trek the hills of Sapa and take a peek into the region’s indigenous societies. Witness the limestone formations of Halong Bay take on a burnished orange hue as the sun sets on another extraordinary day.
Our advice to visitors of Vietnam is…
Vietnam’s delicious (and strong) coffee will help you keep up with the pace of modern living, but *do* take time to slow down and admire everything — even on the busy streets of Old Town Hanoi. Also, don't be afraid to go below the surface — literally a cave adventure is included in your itinerary.
Places you'll stay
Hanoi
Hanoi is one of those cities with a personality so rich and multi-layered, it seems more like a person than a place. Founded in 1010, Vietnam’s capital city has more than a thousand years of history. Inevitably, it’s the birthplace of heroes, artists, kings, and legends. Travelers will find themselves easily taken in by Hanoi’s treasures, and there’s so much to see.
Mai Chau
A few hours southwest of Hanoi, through picturesque farming towns and over epic mountain passes, is the verdant valley of Mai Chau. Home to the ethnic White and Black Thai people, who arrived in Vietnam from southern China as early as the 13th century, the area is rich in culture and one of the best places to experience Vietnamese hospitality. Book yourself into a homestay in a traditional stilt house, enjoy home-cooked feasts of fresh, local produce and be utterly charmed by this beautiful rural area.
Ninh Binh
Referred to as the “Halong Bay of the Land,” Ninh Binh is known for its striking karst formations. Go on a boat ride here to see a surreal and very lush landscape.
Ha Long Bay
The name Ha Long means “descending dragon” – a fitting title for a bay steeped in mystical legends and boasting scenery to match. There are countless tales of how and why the name came about. One of the most well-known tells of a dragon that came down from the sky, spitting thousands of pearls from its fiery mouth, which became the islets and karsts that now dot the bay.
