Nine days of looking after yourself: a private boat around the islands, a mud bath and spa, a photo day with a professional photographer — and then mountains, trekking and two nights as guests of a mountain family.
An island and the mountains — two different moods in one tour, both put together for an all-girls group.
You travel with a Vietnam Samurai manager: the person who designs our programs herself and knows the tastiest and best places better than anyone — @nika.in.vietnam.
Day 2A boat just for your group and an English-speaking guide: the lagoon of May Rut island, a beach with sunbeds on Vong island, snorkelling over the coral gardens of Gam Ghi island, a seafood lunch on Mong Tay island and a second snorkel at Xuong island.
Day 2A professional photographer shoots your group on the boat and the islands: turquoise water, white beaches, coral lagoons. The photo day is included in the tour price.
Day 3Vinpearl Safari, one of the largest safari parks in Vietnam, where the animals roam free, and VinWonders with its rides and water park. One ticket for both parks, transport and an English-speaking guide for the whole day.
Day 4Versailles Mud Bath, Spa & Beach Club: a warm mineral mud bath, a steam room, a 90-minute relaxing massage and lunch — a reset before the road north.
Day 6The longest cable car in Indochina takes you to the highest point in the country. The same day: Cat Cat village and the Silver Waterfall.
Day 8The most striking sights in one go: Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake, Quan Thanh Temple and Train Street, where the train passes a couple of metres from the street-café tables.
Not a set built for tourists but real life: two nights in the home of a Hmong mountain family that has been hosting guests for ten years.
Trekking through the neighbouring villages and rice terraces, a traditional jewellery workshop with your hosts, a home-cooked dinner with rice wine and a photo session in traditional dress against the mountains.
An island and the mountains — two different moods in one tour. The order of the islands on the boat trip may change depending on the weather.
Airport transfer, check-in at a hotel by the sea and a free evening — just the time to breathe out after the flight.
At 8:00 we pick you up from the hotel and drive to the port. A boat for your group only: May Rut island with a trip around the lagoon (SUP if you like), Vong island with a swim and sunbeds on the beach, Gam Ghi island with snorkelling over the coral gardens, a fresh seafood lunch on Mong Tay island and a second snorkel at Xuong island, which has the clearest water in the archipelago. At 15:00 we are back at the port and head to the hotel. The order of the islands may change depending on the weather.
In the evening, at 19:00, you can go back to Sunset Town for a walk on your own if you like. We arrange and pay for the transfer.
A day in the north of the island. Vinpearl Safari: an open zoo where the animals roam free, and a ride among them in a glass-sided bus. Then VinWonders: one ticket opens all the rides (roller coasters included), a huge water park with slides, an aquarium and the evening show Once. The parks are next to each other and share one ticket (buggies, the zoo tram and food are not included). Transport and an English-speaking guide for the whole day.
A day with no programme: rest at your own pace. In the afternoon Versailles Mud Bath, Spa & Beach Club is waiting for you. A 150-minute programme: a warm mineral mud bath, a steam room, a 90-minute massage and a lunch of your choice (rice or noodles with seafood). Towels, a locker and a welcome drink are included. A full reset before the road north.
A domestic flight to Hanoi, then a comfortable overnight sleeper bus along a scenic mountain road straight to Sapa. You wake up in the mountains.
During the day: Cat Cat village, the longest cable car in Indochina to the highest point in the country, the Silver Waterfall. After lunch you move to a mountain village where, for two nights, you stay not in a hotel but in the home of a Vietnamese family: with dinner, a bed and their hospitality.
On foot through the neighbouring villages and rice terraces. A workshop on traditional metal jewellery with your hosts, a home-cooked dinner with rice wine — and a photo session in traditional dress from your hosts, against the mountains.
The sleeper bus reaches Hanoi by lunchtime. Then — not a museum marathon but the most striking sights in one go: Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake (the oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi, standing right on the water), Quan Thanh Temple — and the legendary Train Street, where the train passes a couple of metres from the street-café tables. In the evening: a walk on your own through the Old Quarter along Hoan Kiem Lake with the red Huc Bridge, and the must-have egg coffee, cà phê trứng, Hanoi’s signature drink.
Airport transfer timed to your flight.
Prefer a room to yourself — $2,200 per person: a single room in the same hotel.
“Everything's good, the girls are happy. Thank you again for organizing our vacation, everyone really liked it, all the guides did a great job.”
“Today's guide was really great. He told us a lot, didn't rush us, and fed us well. We've had three guides already, and he's the best. A super comfortable trip.”
“We had two guides: Maria and Natalia. We liked both My Son and Hue, and Hoi An is love.”
“We liked Ninh Binh, the mountains and the greenery. Trang An is very beautiful, we'd like to go back and see more.”
“They have their own little restaurant, and the food is very good. And there's a pool with sun loungers on the grounds.”
“Fansipan is top. The town of Sapa itself is magnificent. Ninh Binh is potentially a wonder, it depends a lot on the weather. Probably only in summer. Visibility was poor there, but it's still captivating. Hanoi is noisy, very. Otherwise northern Vietnam is wonderful.”
“Da Nang was a real treat. We happened to catch the kite festival.”
