Hanoi

Countryside, Caves & Beach

Vietnam has an extensive network of domestic flights, so it’s tempting to fly around all over the place and pack loads in. But travelling a little more slowly by train can be hugely rewarding and fun! This holiday includes an overnight journey and two-day trains as you traverse the country from Hanoi to the Central Coast. You’ll stay in some great spots along the way including a luxury beach resort in an idyllic location.  

This trip suggestion works particularly well for families travelling in Spring and Summer since this is the best time to visit Phong Nha Caves and the Central Coast. It avoids the southern part of the country, where the weather is less favourable in the summer months. 

Highlights

Street food tour

Slurp noodles in the hustle and bustle of the capital Hanoi

 

 

Coastal beauty

Enjoy a breathtakingly beautiful beach resort on a remote peninsula in Phu Yen province

 

 

Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park

Adventure in the limestone karst landscape of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park

In Our Travellers’ Words

Temples, Volcanoes and Dragons of Indonesia

A 16 night family holiday with 2 teenage boys. We did enough cultural visits to keep mum happy but with volcano visit, swimming pools, Komodo dragons, snorkelling and seeing Manta rays the boys had a fantastically diverse holiday. I have used Experience Travel Group three times now and would highly recommend them.
