Family Vietnam with Luxury Beach Suggested Holiday Itinerary

DAY 1 DEPART THE UK

Depart the UK (normally London) for Hanoi.

DAY 2-4 HANOI

Arrive in Hanoi, one of Asia’s most exciting cities and a real mixture of old world charm and modern bustle. Your private guide and driver will transfer you to your accommodation.

Over the next two days your guide will show you around the city, with a cyclo tour  and tickets to the famous water puppets. You'll take a three hour streetfood tour which, beyond the food, is a great introduction to Vietnamese culture and tradition. There is even a chance to visit the chocolate buffet at the Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel should you wish!

DAY 5 HALONG BAY

Transfer to stunning Halong Bay where you’ll board your own traditional boat for an overnight adventure cruising around the dramatic scenery of limestone karsts. Beautiful lagoons, beaches and caves can all be explored, some even by kayak. 

DAY 6-9 Hoi An

After you disembark the boat your guide and driver will meet you and transfer you back to Hanoi for the short flight south to Danang. Alternatively, if you are feeling intrepid you could opt to bunk up in a 4 berth cabin on the "Reunification Express" route and travel south to Hoi An by train.

On arrival in Danang your local guide and driver will meet you for the short journey along the coast towards Hoi An. Arrive at the Nam Hai resort, a fantastic, luxury base from which to enjoy a range of local adventures and to enjoy relaxed beach-time. You probably won't ever want to leave!

Between leisurely strolls around magical Hoi An itself, lazy days on the beach and the many activities (such as tennis) available at the Nam Hai, you’ll also have time for an expertly guided tour of the local countryside. This engaging tour provides a chance to experience local Vietnamese life. In the company of your guide you’ll go on a leisurely bike ride through the countryside, before taking a boat up river to a local fishing community. Learn how to net fish and to paddle a traditional bamboo basket along the palm-fringed waterways.

DAY 10-12  SAIGON

Today you board a short flight to Ho Chi Minh City, otherwise known as Saigon. On arrival your guide and driver will meet you and transfer you to The Caravelle hotel. This is one of the city’s best quality hotels, in a fantastic location and with an outdoor swimming pool for the children to splash around in.

During your time in the city there will be a full day to enjoy our specially crafted Saigon Family Tour. This includes the city's main sights such as the enthralling Presidential palace where you can explore the old wartime communications bunkers and learn a little about the Vietnam War. In the afternoon there will be time for ice creams and relaxation at the hotel before an evening Vespa tour of the cities less discovered corners.

During your stay there is also a chance to visit the captivating Cu Chi Tunnels; the river route is quicker and more interesting than sitting in the car. This an educational tour but children generally still find it interesting, if only due to the novelty of climbing into the underground tunnels!  

DAY 13 HOME

Time to wave goodbye to Vietnam as you board your flight back to the UK.
