The Northern region of Vietnam is so much more than just enjoying the bustling street of Hanoi, strolling through 36 old quarters. If you are interested in discovering all aspects of the region, our 8-day Essence of Northern Vietnam tour is tailored just for you. From mountains to seas, we have a trip from Sapa to Halong Bay. We travel back in time to see isolated hill tribe communities that are surrounded by verdant rolling hills and mountain streams and are watched over by striking limestone karsts. Halong Bay serves as the magnificent climax of the tour. On a cozy junk boat, we’ll spend the night visiting islands, enjoying delectable meals, swimming, tanning, and kayaking. The tour marks a perfect showcase of the visual and cultural delights of northern Vietnam!
