Explore Vietnam is a private 17-day honeymoon from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh, from $1,879 per person with a $350 deposit. Hanoi's Old Quarter, Ha Long Bay, Phong Nha's caves, imperial Hue and the Hai Van Pass into Hoi An. Just the two of you, with 15 activities and 19 meals. You can travel from 28 August 2026.
Welcome to Vietnam’s captivating capital. After landing, we’ll take you straight to your hotel so you can freshen up and settle in. Spend your first afternoon wandering nearby streets, grabbing a coffee, or simply resting after your flight. As evening comes, soak up the buzz of Hanoi and get excited for the days ahead.
Wake up in Hanoi and explore the city at your own pace. Wander the maze-like lanes of the Old Quarter, admire French-inspired architecture, and watch local life unfold around Hoan Kiem Lake. You can join an optional walking tour to visit highlights like St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and One Pillar Pagoda. In the evening, dive into Hanoi’s street food scene and taste your way through the city.
Today you leave the city behind and head for the legendary seascapes of Halong Bay. Board your overnight cruise and settle into your cabin as limestone karsts rise dramatically from emerald waters all around you. Enjoy kayaking or a swim, then return to the top deck for sunset cocktails with an unbeatable view. After dinner on board, join a relaxed cooking lesson or simply enjoy the peaceful night on the water.
Share a romantic sunrise and refreshing Tai-chi on the sundeck to start your day. Explore the mystical Quan Y Cave amidst the lush beauty of Cat Ba National Park. Savour an early gourmet lunch while cruising through the stunning Lan Ha Bay vistas. Arrive at Tuan Chau Wharf, concluding your voyage with unforgettable honeymoon memories.
Yes, the dress code is seen as a show of respect to the culture, temple and monks that often live in the temples. Men should wear long pants and no cut-off sleeves. Women should wear trousers, a long skirt, or dress that extends fully below the knees and covers their shoulders - the knees should be fully covered. Tank tops and low cut shirts should also be avoided by both genders.
Both! There are ATM machines throughout the tour in nearly every location we visit. There is usually a currency exchange fee and most banks will charge a processing fee. For this reason, we suggest withdrawing however much you feel you will need on tour (explained above) when using the machines. The more you use the ATMs the more fees you will pay. Vietnam has a cap on most withdrawals so we suggest using ANZ Bank Machines as they allow withdrawals of up to 5M VND per transaction. For currency exchange, there are kiosks throughout the airport when you land and also opportunities in Hanoi once you arrive at the hotel. These kiosks accept all major currencies from Western countries. You can also exchange at home before you arrive but the exchange fee is usually higher. The cheaper option is to use an ATM card but currency exchange is also readily available. Just make sure to let your bank know you plan to travel abroad so they do not lock your account when they see a sudden overseas withdrawal.
No problem at all - just make sure to arrive at the hotel for the starting date of the tour! We can arrange early night’s accommodation at the hotel and airport transfer or provide easy-to-use directions for getting from the airport to our hotel where there are many other accommodation options if you prefer to shop around for pricing.
