The Mekong to the Pearl
Ho Chi Minh City · Da Nang · Hoi An · Phu Quoc — waterways, wartime history, golden bridges, and island beaches.
From the Mekong’s waterways to the Pearl Island.
This eleven-day journey moves from the vibrant south — the Mekong Delta’s canals and the history of the Cu Chi Tunnels — to the culturally rich centre, with the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills and Hoi An’s lantern-lit lanes, before ending on the white-sand beaches of Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island.
A private car and driver, Arabic and English-speaking guides, and every entrance fee arranged in advance — nothing left for you to plan.
Your 11-day route
Arrival in Vietnam
Private transfer from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, with a driver holding a signboard printed with your name at the arrivals gate. Check in to your hotel and rest after the flight.
Canals & orchards
A day trip into the Mekong Delta: a boat through the peaceful canals, a stop in a local village, and fresh tropical fruit tasting, before returning to Ho Chi Minh City in the evening.
Cu Chi Tunnels & city landmarks
Morning at the historic Cu Chi Tunnels — the underground network, wartime history, a taste of the local cassava that sustained fighters during the war, and a chance to crawl a section yourself, with optional target shooting at the range. Afternoon at the city’s landmarks: Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, and Ben Thanh Market.
