The Northern Explorer
Hanoi · Ninh Binh · Ha Long Bay · Sapa — the classic north, extended into the misty mountains.
From Hanoi’s streets to Sapa’s summits.
This eight-day journey carries you through the full range of northern Vietnam — Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the limestone rivers of Ninh Binh, a night cruise on Ha Long Bay, and the misty mountains of Sapa, home to Indochina’s highest peak and the Hmong villages beneath it.
A private car and driver, Arabic and English-speaking guides, and every entrance fee arranged in advance — nothing left for you to plan.
