A trip we designed
Hanoi · Sapa · Phu Quoc · 9 days

The north of Vietnam and then the beach, in one run. Two nights in Hanoi for the Old Quarter and a full day on Halong Bay, a day in Ninh Binh on the way out, two nights up in Sapa for Fansipan and the glass bridge, then the flight south to Phu Quoc for three nights of islands, safari parks and the sea cable car. Both overnight journeys are in private cabins, so the long stretches happen while you sleep.

Built by our planners and made yours: change the dates, the pace, the hotels, or the whole shape of it. Nothing here is fixed except the thinking behind it.
