FULL ITINERARY:

Day 1:

Upon arrival, a driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel.

Tonight your guide will take you on a culinary adventure, sampling street food in the Old Quarter. It’s a great opportunity to try all those weird and wonderful foods you see but just aren’t sure what they are! Start your Hanoi Street Eats tour at Bia Hoi corner to try the local brew, a draft beer that traces its roots to Eastern Europe. Do as the locals do and pull up a stool and enjoy a drink while watching the world go by.

Continue through the old quarter’s narrow streets as your guide points out a range of tasty noodles, breads and snacks. At night the sidewalks are packed with locals perched on stools, amongst sizzling woks and bubbling pots. These small pop up restaurants are a nightly feature that all but disappear during the day. Sit down and enjoy a flame grilled Vietnamese barbecue of beef, chicken, tofu and vegetables on skewers. End the night with dessert from Hanoi’s best-known ice-cream parlour.

Day 2:

It’s an early start to the day as you will leave Hanoi to drive to the coastal port of Halong by shuttle bus. The journey takes around three and a half hours with a break to stretch your legs. Upon arrival, board your boat and set off on your cruise. Called “Bay of Descending Dragons” in Vietnamese, the archipelago of Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site composed of almost 2,000 islands and jungle-clad limestone pillars.

Set sail and cruise to Dao Tung Lam Bay where you will enjoy a delicious lunch in one of the world's most iconic landscapes. Feast on a range of traditional Vietnamese dishes before saling on to Ga Choi Island - said to resemble two fighting cocks! Take time to marvel at the huge limestone karts rising from the calm waters, before arriving at Paradise Cave - a huge grotto of stalactites and stalagmites.

There is plenty of time to relax on the junk's sun deck and sip a cocktail or two before you return to Tuan Chau Marina and your transfer back to Hanoi, arriving in the early evening.

Day 3:

Your driver will meet you at the hotel and transfer you to the airport for your flight.
