Meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come. ### Day 2: Rickshaw Exploring We'll jump straight into the hustle and bustle of Hanoi today with a walking and rickshaw tour of the city. Soak in daily life in the chaotic capital and fill up on spicy spring rolls and tasty street food. This evening we’ll be heading out for dinner and drinks to see what Hanoi has to offer after dark. ### Day 3: Hanoi - Ha Long Bay From Hanoi we'll travel to Ha Long Bay, where we'll cruise the emerald green waters surrounded by limestone mountains, feeling like we're not quite on this planet. The secret caves and coves will prove too much to resist, so we'll jump into kayaks to explore further before settling down for the evening on our overnight boat. ### Day 4: Ha Long - Ninh Binh The rice paddies and vast limestone mountains of Ninh Binh await us today, where we'll be staying at a local homestay in traditional bungalows right by the river. ### Day 5: Bikes, Boats & Dragon Mountain Heading out to explore the countryside retreat of Ninh Binh, we'll take to two wheels to weave through the rice paddies before taking a local row boat through the network of rivers and caves. We’ll finish our time here with a hike to the Dragon Mountain viewpoint, before boarding our overnight train bound for Hoi An. ### Day 6: Hoi An Beautiful, historical Hoi An will win you over in an instant as we arrive this morning. We'll check in to our hotel, then this afternoon you'll have time to explore, go shopping, or perhaps visit a local tailor to get a custom suit or dress made. ### Day 7: Hoi An - Basket Fishing & Cooking Class Local fishermen will be our guides today as we weave through coconut groves, teaching us the art of crab fishing. We'll then take part in a hands on cooking class to become masters of all things Vietnamese cuisine. ### Day 8: Hoi An - Lantern Making Class & Beach Day Today you'll try your hand at making an awesome Vietnamese souvenir – a lantern! Then we'll enjoy a chilled beach day with some lunch at a cool beach club ### Day 9: Hoi An - Home Taking to the skies, we'll head south to the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh. The rest of the day will be yours to explore. ## Guide languages English Live ## Links - Yatra page: https://yatraforfun.com/tour/105217509-vietnam-intro-tour-hanoi-9-day-ninh-binh - WhatsApp concierge: https://wa.me/9779708072951
