6-Day Vietnam Tour: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Da Nang & Hoi An
Hanoi - Halong Bay - Da Nang - Hoi An
Overview
This six-day itinerary trades the south for central Vietnam's heritage coast. After Hanoi and a cruise among Halong Bay's limestone islands, you'll fly to Da Nang for the lantern-lit lanes of Hoi An Ancient Town, a basket-boat ride through the Bay Mau coconut forest, and the cable-car ascent to the Ba Na Hills Golden Bridge. It's ideal for travellers drawn to atmosphere, craft and scenery rather than the big-city south — Vietnam's north and centre in one relaxed week.
