Besides, the region has many other highlights, including Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, and Ha Giang.

You can take in the ideal fusion of culture and nature in just five days.

One great option is: Day 1–2 in Hanoi, Day 3–4 in Halong Bay, and Day 5 in Ninh Binh.

Take a city tour and sample some of the local cuisine to start your time in Hanoi. Then cruise through Halong Bay’s quiet waters to explore limestone caves and enjoy seafood on board. Before returning to Hanoi, take a leisurely boat ride through the karst valleys to cap off your trip in Ninh Binh.

If you prefer the mountains, we can also change this plan so that Sapa is used instead of Ninh Binh. The itinerary will be tailored by Indochina Tour to your interests and speed.

The time of year, hotel type, and size of the group all affect your budget. Private tours cost more than group tours, but they offer flexibility and personal service.

We at Indochina Tour deal with a wide range of budgets. Without sacrificing comfort or quality, we'll suggest the best options to meet your needs.

Be prepared for weather changes. Pack comfortable walking shoes, a jacket or windbreaker, and light layers.

Even in the spring or fall, bring warmer clothing if you're going to the mountains (such as Sapa or Ha Giang). For boat activities in Halong Bay, bring sandals and swimwear. For hikes or sightseeing, remember to pack a small daypack, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

To ensure you know exactly what to pack, Indochina Tour will send you a comprehensive packing list based on your itinerary and travel season when you make your reservation.
