What to see and do in Vietnam

As ever, if you can’t see it here then we can still plan it for you.

AN ADVENTURE TO VIETNAM

Vietnam is a place where natural beauty and ancient history live side by side. Zip through verdant rice paddies in the beautiful Ninh Binh countryside by bike, soar above the colorful fishing boats and turquoise waters of Halong Bay via private helicopter, or take an army Jeep to Cu Chi to explore the compact war-time tunnels.

SET SAIL IN HALONG BAY

There’s no wonder this magical landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shrouded in mystery and beauty, this special region of Vietnam consists of over 2,000 islands sprouting from breathtaking emerald waters. Jump on-board a junk boat and glide over these iconic waters for a couple of nights to discover the scattered islands, fishing villages and green grottos.

BIKE THROUGH HOI AN

Beautiful Chinese temples, picturesque riverside restaurants, and unhurried dreamy atmosphere; Hoi An is Vietnam’s most enchanting coastal town. After a leisurely bike ride through the old town and its lush rice paddies, we’ll arrange for you to take to the seas with a local fisherman before learning how to master grilled fish in a banana leaf. Take a romantic stroll around the ancient town bathed in the glow of the monthly light festival before indulging in a private dinner at Aubergine49, where chef Nguyen Nhu Thinh will floor you with his ‘eur-asian’ fusion cuisine.

HISTORIC HUE

On the waters of the pretty Perfume River sits the imperial city of Hue, waiting to win you over with its tranquil ambiance, ancient citadels, and classical monuments. Our best guides will take you across the former royal capital, stopping off at the tombs of ancient emperors, including that of Khai Dinh on the outskirts of Hue. End your day with a private dining experience at Kim Long, where the light, elegant, and imperial dishes that define Hue are just as impressive as its secluded woodland location and regal interiors.

LAN HA BAY CRUISE

Head south from Ha Long Bay on the Ylang luxury cruise boat to see the splendour of Lan Ha Bay – just as easy on the eye but the crowds haven’t added it to their itineraries. Drift around its famous limestone outcrops and remote beaches and try to catch snaps of the local wildlife including seals and three species of dolphins as you head towards an authentic floating market in the fishing village of Cát Bà Island. End your day with a gourmet, multi-course dinner before retiring to your luxurious suite atop the water.

The best of Vietnam

Hanoi

The best street food scene in Vietnam.

Blaring horns, sizzling street food and partygoers dancing into the night; these are the scenes one can expect while visiting Vietnam’s bustling capital. However, to really get under Hanoi’s skin, we’ve got the perfect man for the job. Meet American food writer and chef, Daniel Hoyer. Led on a tasty tour of the city, you’ll sample a range of flavors from nem cuon appetizers (fresh spring rolls) at Cho Hom Market to pho cuon (grilled beef and rice noodle roll) at Truc Bach Lake. After some traditional pho at his favorite restaurant, it’s time to sit back at Hanoi’s liveliest jazz club.

Hoi An

Where history is woven through with handmade silk.

An ancient riverside town scattered with narrow alleys, traditional houses and some of Asia’s most skilled tailors – it’s hard to leave Hoi An without a brimming suitcase of custom-made garments. We’ve entrusted Quang Le, one of our top guides in Hoi An to show you the ways of the local farmers on a day trip to a Vietnamese herb farm nearby. Here you’ll bicycle through rich countryside, get your hands dirty in the vegetable garden and learn traditional rice grinding methods.

Ho Chi Minh

Head subway to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

Discovering the hidden secrets of Ho Chi Minh, otherwise known as Saigon, is a memory we keep playing over in our heads. A city steeped in history and renowned for its focal role in the Vietnam War, your guide Phi will whisk you off to Cu Chi Tunnels to gain a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s 20th-century conflicts. A network of 200km tunnels with countless trap doors and booby traps, you’ll crawl subway to see just where the Viet Cong soldiers stored their weapons.
