Detailed itinerary
Welcome to Hanoi – the capital of Vietnam, where your love journey blooms.
Upon arrival, your guide will be there to greet you and accompany you to your hotel for check-in. Your room will be ready according to the hotel’s standard check-in time (approximately 14:00–15:00), giving you time to settle in comfortably after your flight.
The rest of the day is left open, allowing you to rest, recharge, or simply take in your first impressions of the city at your own pace.
Overnight in Hanoi, as you ease into the rhythm of your journey.
After breakfast, the two of you will leave the city behind and set out on a scenic drive to Ninh Binh (about 120 km from Hanoi) while the landscape slowly opens up into small villages and quiet countryside views, with a short break along the way.
Your first stop is Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam. Walking through the temples of King Dinh and King Le, there’s a quiet, almost timeless atmosphere that invites you to slow down. As stories of the past unfold, the surroundings feel calm and unhurried, which is an easy place to wander side by side and take in the moment together.
Around midday, pause for lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense), a simple break before the landscape changes once again.
In the afternoon, continue to Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its serene waterways and dramatic limestone scenery. This is where the experience becomes more intimate.
Seated together on a small boat, you’ll drift along a quiet river, passing through caves like Sang Cave (Light Cave), Toi Cave (Dark Cave), and Nau Ruou Cave (Cooking Wine Cave). The rhythm of the water, the stillness around you, and the feeling of moving slowly through nature create a peaceful, almost cinematic moment—one that feels easy to share without saying much.
After the visit, return to Hanoi by private car, arriving in the early evening (around 18:30 – 19:00). Dinner is on your own.
Overnight in Hanoi
The day begins with a private transfer as you leave Hanoi behind and head toward Sapa. The journey follows the highway to Lao Cai with a short break along the way, before continuing on a scenic mountain road where valleys and terraced fields gradually come into view.
Upon arrival, you’ll notice the colorful presence of ethnic communities such as the H’mong, Dzao, and Tay. Take some time to enjoy lunch with local Vietnamese dishes (at your own expense) and complete your hotel check-in.
In the afternoon, set out together on a short walk to Cat Cat Village, located at the foot of Fansipan Peak. With your local guide, explore the daily life of the Black H’mong people, then continue down to the valley to visit a waterfall and a historic hydraulic power station from the French period. After some time for photos, trek back uphill to Sapa, with beautiful views accompanying you along the way.
The trekking distance is approximately 2.5 km and takes around 2 hours. Your driver will then take you back to Sapa town.

After breakfast, you’ll transfer to the cable car station and begin your ascent. As the cabin rises, sweeping views of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range gradually unfold, with layers of forest, terraced hills, and drifting clouds creating a calm and almost dreamlike atmosphere.
Upon reaching the upper station, take time to explore at your own pace. Stone paths and stairways lead through temple complexes and viewpoints, offering quiet moments to pause, take photos, or simply enjoy the fresh mountain air together. If you feel up for it, you can continue to the summit, where a wide panoramic view awaits. A picture together with the surreal view behind would be a great idea.
