A Vietnam trip of 13 to 16 days is 12 to 15 nights, which leaves about 11 to 14 full days on the ground after the arrival and departure flights. 13 days is the first length where Vietnamtour.in fits Sapa and Phu Quoc into the same itinerary, so travellers no longer have to choose between the mountains and the island. The 4 routes below show one shape for each length a Vietnam 12+ days tour package takes, from 13 to 16 days, and the main difference between them is how far beyond Vietnam's three regions each one goes.
Route 1: 13-Day Mountains to Islands — Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Da Nang, Hoi An, Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta
The Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City route via Sapa and Phu Quoc starts from ₹1,34,710 per person and needs 3 domestic flights, with 3 nights in Hanoi, 1 in Sapa, 3 in Da Nang, 3 on Phu Quoc, and 2 in Ho Chi Minh City.
