In 14 days you can travel from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam is more then site seeing from the seat of a bus. Check out some of my favourite activities guaranteed to entertain and engage you along the way..
TAKE A MOTORCYCLE TOUR OF HANOI
There is no better way to see the city and experience the traffic than on the back of a bike! Weave along the city streets, in and out of traffic while your guide takes you to some of the city's unique places. You can visit a small farming community along the river, see some historical sites and visit a temple, you will definitely experience the city like a local!
ENJOY A STREET FOOD TOUR OF HANOI
Immerse yourself in local Vietnamese culture, wondering the street markets and sampling the vendor food. Don't worry! Your guide will help you navigate through the traffic and take you to some of the best foodie spots in town. You may even find a new favourite!
TAKE A CYCLO TOUR OF THE CITY
After you have experienced the motorcycle, enjoy the relaxing pace of the cyclo, as your driver expertly navigates the city traffic on his rickshaw style bicycle. Our tour took us to the Famous "Hanoi Hilton", once a prison, but now a museum that preserves the prison's long dark history.
SPEND THE NIGHT ON A JUNK BOAT ON HA LONG BAY
Spend a memorable night on Ha Long Bay on board a Junk Boat. View spectacular limestone formations jutting out of the water as you cruise along to your own secluded spot on the water. Take a Kayak trip out to explore a cave and enjoy a swim in a private lagoon. Enjoy the fine dining and hospitality of your Junk Boat crew before settling in your cabin for an evening under the stars.
VISIT THE ME CUNG CAVE
Your Junk Boat tour isn't complete until you have visited the Me Cung Cave. This enormous cavern is well lit with stunning views both inside and out. First you climb the stairs to enter the cavern and explore it's cathedral like beauty. Learn the history of it's discovery and wander the path throughout the cave, then climb up the grade and out to a spectacular view of the bay and the Junk Boats below.
ENJOY A HOMESTAY DINNER WITH A LOCAL FAMILY IN MAI CHU
The view of the Mai Chau Valley from the mountains above is spectacular and even more beautiful as you descend the farms below. After spending the day hiking and exploring the rice fields and local villages, you may feel too tired to venture out to this unique experience. Don't miss out! You will be welcomed to share a meal with a local family who will share traditions through food, song and dance. The food is delicious and the dancing is a real treat. You may even be invited to join in!
MOTORCYCLE TOUR OF HUE
While in Hue, you can visit local markets, Citadels, Tombs and Temples. All from the back of a motorbike! The drivers expertly guide you through back street alleys and paths along the riverside to many interesting sites. The bikes scurried up some narrow paths along the ridge of Bunker Hill and into local villages where you are able to meet a woman who makes traditional cone farmer hats. It was nice to meet this lady and hear her story, she makes these hats with only one arm! If you buy a hat, don't worry, your guide will have it sent back to the hotel!
TAYLOR MADE SUIT IN HOI AN
Hoi An is a wonder with its riverside markets and spectacular lanterns in the evening. Stop at one of the local Taylor and have your favourite suit or dress custom made just for you. Wander the shops for clothes and souvenirs or cross the river for the local pub crawl. Hoi An at night is not to be missed.
During the day take a bike ride of the countryside and try a spin in a coconut boat. Then take a sunset cruise back to Old Hoi An and see the well lit market as you arrive just in time for the evening lights.
VISIT A SKY BAR IN HO CHI MINH CITY
Quench your thirst at one of the famous sky bars in Ho Chi Minh City. Get a birds eye view of the city and marvel at the traffic in the city that never sleeps. Wander the local markets for a bite to eat or a late night snack.
TOUR THE CHU CHI TUNNELS
The Chu Chi tunnels explore the history of the war against the Americans. The tunnels were instrumental in the survival and strategic warfare utilised by the Vietnamese people. Many traps are displayed and if you are adventurous you can explore a section of tunnel to get a personal experience. You can even shoot an AK47! How cool is that?
Vietnam is rich in history, culture and beautiful scenery. The people are warm and friendly, they have a strong sense of family and welcome travellers to experience their hospitality. With delicious food, excellent accommodations, and so many amazing experiences, you are sure ot have an amazing time!
