Overview
This journey explores the hidden Vietnam - from the bustling cities to the isolated highlands. Our journey begins with a tour of Ho Chi Minh City before heading towards the Mekong Delta where we encounter the floating markets and small trading villages. Heading north to the world heritage site of Hoi An we discover the importance of this port town and take time to explore it's colourful markets. Driving north over the Hai Van Pass is the elegant, ancient capital of Hue, where we enjoy historic pagodas and temples before taking an overnight train to Hanoi. Here we experience an evening at the famous water puppet theatre and immerse ourselves in the city’s teeming market places. We then escape to the secluded Mai Chau highlands to walk easy trails and meet minority hilltribes including the White Thai, H’mong and Dzao peoples. Our journey through Vietnam is complete after we cruise the tranquil islands and emerald waters of Halong Bay in sheer luxury onboard the Bhaya traditional cruise boat.
