Detailed itinerary

Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City, the lively southern gateway of Vietnam. Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by your guide and transferred to your hotel for check-in. Standard hotel check-in time is around 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

The rest of the day is free at leisure, giving you time to relax after your journey and ease into your Vietnam holiday before the coastal experiences begin.

Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City.

Day 1: Ho Chi Minh Arrival

Today, travel from Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho in the Mekong Delta, where water defines both the landscape and the local way of life.

Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic cruise on the Mekong River and discover the unique rhythm of this fertile region. As you pass the famous islands of Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix, the day unfolds through peaceful waterways and charming local encounters. At Unicorn Island, enjoy a visit to a coconut candy workshop, a rowing boat ride through natural canals, and a tasting of seasonal tropical fruits accompanied by traditional Southern Vietnamese music. A visit to a local bee farm adds another enjoyable stop along the route.

While this day is not a beach experience, it introduces the water-rich beauty of southern Vietnam in a gentle and relaxing way, adding variety to your coastal journey.

On the return to Ho Chi Minh City, stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda, admired for its graceful architecture and peaceful atmosphere.

Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City.

Highlights include the famous Golden Bridge, the charming French Village, Fantasy Park, and Linh Ung Pagoda. The mountain scenery creates a beautiful contrast to the sea, making this day a pleasant addition to your beach holiday rather than a departure from it.

Along the way, you may observe local fishing techniques and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of this water-based excursion.

The journey then continues to Hoi An Ancient Town, where historic architecture and old-world charm create one of Vietnam’s most enchanting settings. Highlights include the Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, the Phung Hung Ancient House or Tan Ky Ancient House, and the Japanese Bridge.

Today, depart Hanoi by private transfer via the expressway to Halong Bay, where one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking marine landscapes awaits.

Upon boarding your cruise, begin a memorable journey through emerald waters and limestone islands rising dramatically from the sea. This overnight cruise is one of the highlights of the tour and an essential part of its beach and coastal character. Lunch is served on board as the vessel glides through scenic formations and tranquil bays.

In the afternoon, depending on the cruise program, you may enjoy activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, or simply relaxing on the sundeck while admiring the seascape. These moments bring a true sense of marine escape, adding a special dimension to your Vietnam beach holiday.

As evening falls, enjoy dinner on board and settle into your comfortable cabin for a peaceful overnight stay surrounded by the calm beauty of the bay.

Wonderful Vietnam Trip with Vietnamtour We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vietnamtour and would highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. We explored Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, Ba Na Hills, Hoi An and Phu Quoc, and every part of the trip was well planned and executed. A special mention to Quin, our travel agent, who was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the trip. From airport transfers and hotels to food, sightseeing and all the little details, everything was taken care of very well. She was always available whenever we needed assistance, even when we faced an unexpected flight-related issue that was outside the package. The entire trip was comfortable, well organised and truly memorable. Thank you to the whole Vietnamtour team, and especially Quin, for making our Vietnam holiday such a wonderful experience!
