Tour itinerary

Day 1: DAY 1: Hanoi - Mai Chau (L/D)

Depart Ha Noi and travel to Mai Chau, a fertile valley that's home to ethnic Thai people living in traditional wooden stilt houses. Stop for lunch with a local Thai family before hiking out to explore the surrounding villages that dot the verdant landscape.

In the afternoon, start trekking via the small villages in Mai Chau Valley to discover the daily work of White Thai people, who are very friendly and hospitable, and learn how the locals weave the hemp fabric.

In the evening, enjoy the family dinner at Mai Chau with Love Homestay with traditional cuisine and “happy water." Overnight at the bungalow.

Day 2: DAY 2: Mai Chau - Pu Luong Nature Reserve - Ninh Binh (B/L/D)

After finishing breakfast at the homestay, get in the car to travel to the Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Time feels to have stood still as you walk through the terraced rice fields where traditional farming methods are still used instead of machines. Soak in the culture and countryside that rewards the few who travel to this remote, special place. Then continue to Ninh Binh, stopping for lunch in Thanh Hoa Province.

Overnight at hotel in Ninh Binh

Day 3: DAY 3: Ninh Binh Exploration (B/L/D)

This morning, begin your journey by visiting Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam, where you’ll explore the temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties, gaining insight into Vietnam’s rich history. Following this, take a scenic boat trip in Trang An, often referred to as the "Inland Halong Bay." Drift peacefully through serene waterways, passing through limestone caves and stunning karst formations, all in the quiet of the morning.

Afterward, stop for a local lunch to recharge before continuing your adventure.

In the afternoon, hike up to Mua Cave, where the panoramic views of the region's emerald rice fields and winding rivers will leave you in awe. Enjoy the stunning vistas before wrapping up the day's explorations.

Day 4: DAY 4: Ninh Binh - Cat Ba Island - Lan Ha Bay (B/L/D)

Today, travel to Cat Ba Island where you’ll board a traditional wooden sailboat and sail into Lan Ha Bay, passing the floating villages that fringe this Jurassic-looking national park island. Kick back on the deck and watch the backdrop change as the sun dips down and jungle-topped karsts become shadows of a hundred different shapes against the twilight sky.

Overnight on the cruise.

Day 5: DAY 5: Lan Ha Bay - Ha Long Bay - Hanoi (B/L/D)

Wake up to a setting that feels otherworldly as you cruise among the thousands of karst islands and pillars rising up with sheer cliffs from the emerald water. Enjoy a morning swim or kayaking session before returning to the harbor. Your guide and driver will be waiting for you at the harbor to take you back to Hanoi. Enjoy the scenic drive, transitioning from the coastal landscapes to the bustling city. Anticipate arriving in Hanoi around 3-4pm, marking the end of your unforgettable adventure through the captivating landscapes of Lan Ha Bay and HaLong Bay.
