During the walking tour, our guide will stop at a ceramic workshop to teach you about the process of making ceramics and give you the opportunity to design your own ceramic bowl or teacup. Our home tour, which includes lunch, will provide you with a detailed image of what life is like in the country and in the city.

Overnight in Hanoi.

Day 3 – Ninh Binh: “The Inland Halong Bay”

Spend an unforgettable day surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Ninh Binh. Your journey begins in Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam, where majestic temples stand as silent witnesses to a powerful royal past. From there, glide gently along the peaceful waterways of Tam Coc on a traditional sampan boat, drifting between towering limestone cliffs, emerald rice fields, and tranquil rivers that reflect the sky like a mirror.
For a panoramic view that truly captures the soul of the region, you’ll climb to the top of Mua Cave, where sweeping vistas of mountains and winding rivers unfold beneath you—one of the most spectacular viewpoints in all of Vietnam. The day continues with a visit to Bich Dong Pagoda, a serene spiritual site nestled gracefully against a dramatic mountainside, offering a perfect blend of nature, quiet reflection, and ancient architecture.
Return to Hanoi and stay overnight in Hanoi.

Day 4 – Boutique Cruise in Halong Bay

Tropicana Travel invites you to embark on a luxury cruise through the mystical waters of Halong Bay, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site where thousands of limestone pillars rise from the emerald sea. 
As you settle into your beautifully appointed private cabin, the panorama outside your window feels like a living painting. Throughout the journey, you’ll be treated to refined gourmet meals showcasing the freshest local flavors.
The experience continues with memorable activities: glide across tranquil waters by kayak through Luon Cave, and explore the limstone Sung Sot Cave, and join an engaging cooking class led by the onboard chef. As evening approaches, head to the open deck to witness a spectacular sunset - a golden glow spreading over the bay, creating a magical moment you’ll remember forever.
An unforgettable night amid the mystical scenery.

As you stroll through the lush vegetable fields, you’ll learn about traditional farming methods directly from local growers, discovering how they cultivate their produce using age-old techniques. You’ll even have the chance to roll up your sleeves and join in—planting, watering, and harvesting vegetables just as the villagers do.
Afterward, enjoy a soothing herbal foot massage, a refreshing treat that uses aromatic herbs grown right in the village. Your visit concludes with a delightful home-cooked lunch, prepared with fresh ingredients picked straight from the garden—a warm and authentic experience that captures the true essence of rural life in Vietnam.

A panoramic drive passing Notre Dame Cathedral and the General Post Office, masterpieces of French colonial architecture.
A final stop at Ben Thanh Market, buzzing with colors, spices, handicrafts, and local life.

Day 9 – HCM - Immersive Mekong Delta Experience – HCM

Leave the bustling city behind and enter the peaceful world of the Mekong Delta - a maze of river, fruit orchards, coconut groves, and traditional craft villages.
Your day in the Mekong Delta unfolds with a gentle boat journey along the peaceful Ben Tre River, where you can observe the rhythm of daily life unfolding along the waterways. As you continue, step into a traditional brick workshop and a rustic coconut candy factory, watching local artisans skillfully transform simple natural materials into handmade products. In a nearby orchard, enjoy refreshing honey tea and a selection of tropical fruits freshly picked from the garden.
The experience becomes even more immersive as you walk or cycle through charming rural villages. A flavorful Vietnamese lunch awaits you in a quiet riverside restaurant, offering authentic dishes prepared with local ingredients. 
Finally, drift through narrow, shaded canals aboard a small rowing sampan, gliding beneath arches of water palms - a serene and unforgettable moment in the heart of the Mekong.
