Welcome to Hanoi – the capital city! Arrive at the hotel and check-in for a 3-night stay. In the evening, meet your TNT tribe as we head out to the beer street, a quintessential nightlife spot in Hanoi for locals, backpackers, and flashpackers. Binge on some beer or pho (noodle soup) and try its eclectic cuisine as we delve into the colorful culture and hang out with our fellow travelers. If time permits, you can visit the local night market.

Get ready for exotic photos and absorb the magnificent natural splendors, limestone bedrocks, and sheer cliffs of tiny islands. Explore a limestone cave with gorgeous stalactites and stalagmites, and go kayaking through the grottoes and around the limestone cliffs. Later, a fabulous feast awaits you onboard.

Day 4: Hanoi - Da Nang | Marble Mountains

Today, after a leisurely breakfast, we leave for Da Nang by flight. On the way from Da Nang to Hoi An, we visit the Marble Mountains, one of Da Nang’s top attractions, and the five outcrops that make up central Vietnam. Visit the mountains to take in views of the landscape, and explore caves, Buddhist & Hindu grottoes, pagodas, and shrines. Later, check in to the magical lantern city of Hoi An for a stay of 3 nights.

Day 5: Ba Na Hills - Golden Bridge

Today we escape the busy streets of Da Nang. Ascend the mountains of Ba Na Hills on one of the world’s longest and highest cable car rides. Cross the 150m Golden Bridge, an iconic architectural marvel, and take those insta-worthy shots. Later, visit the French Village, a replica of classical and romantic France. You can also pump your adrenaline with some of the rides there, along with the alpine coaster ride through the hills. In the evening, we return to Hoi An and head out for a relaxed dinner by the river lit with lanterns.

Day 6: Coconut basket + night market

Today we spend a day with nature in Hoi An. In the morning, you can take your bicycles and ride along the countryside rice paddies. Later in the afternoon, visit the stunning Bay Mau Coconut Forest. Hop on a basket boat and admire the beauty of the nearby river while enjoying shaking basket boat performances and some live music by the locals. In the evening, we take a walk along the old quarter with its beautifully lit up streets. Perfect insta-worthy shots are guaranteed.

Also known as Saigon, this vibrant and bustling city will greet you with sights and sounds of the city, which is a melting pot of influences from all over the world. In the evening, we head out to explore the local street food of Vietnam. A classic Banh Mi sandwich or a warm bowl of pho, anyone?

 

Day 8: Cu Chi Tunnels & nightlife

Today, we take a step back in history and visit the Cu Chi tunnels. These are underground networks of tunnels that extend for more than 250 km, which were used by the Vietnamese to fight the US Military during the Vietnam War.
