DISCOVER HANOI: JEEP CITY TOUR

Experience the real Hanoi through a full day of immersive local life. Journey beyond the tourist paths into hidden corners of the city, weaving through backstreets and narrow alleyways to see where locals live, work, and play. Along the way, we also visit Hanoi’s must-see landmarks including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, ancient Buddhist and Taoist temples, the iconic train street, the elegant French Quarter, the bustling Old Quarter, and scenic spots like Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, the Hanoi Opera House, and Long Bien Bridge.

We end the day at Hidden Gem Cafe where you will enjoy authentic organic Hanoi cuisine featuring family heirloom recipes and local delicacies, all from the comfort of a classic Jeep.

NINH BINH AND INCENSE FARM VISIT
Visit to Quang Phu Cau Incense Village where you’ll capture authentic moments of workers in action. Explore village workshops as we photograph the incense-making process, including bamboo chopping, dyeing sticks, and preparing incense paste. Along the way, meet friendly locals who have been crafting incense here for generations. We end the day with a relaxing yoga session and dinner at our resort.

BICH DONG PAGODA & TAM COC CAVE EXPERIENCE

We begin with a short drive to Bich Dong Pagoda, known as the Pagoda of the Emerald Cave, set against the backdrop of Bich Dong Mountain and surrounded by rice fields. After climbing the stone steps, you’ll discover three ancient pagodas featuring traditional wood and stone architecture.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we take a peaceful 1.5-hour sampan ride through the Ngo Dong River, drifting past rice paddies and into the three natural caves of Tam Coc, surrounded by stunning limestone cliffs.

BAI DINH PAGODA & MOUNTAIN VIEWPOINT
Visit Bai Dinh, the largest pagoda complex in Vietnam, built across the slopes of Dinh Mountain. The site features thousands of Buddha statues in various sizes, including one towering over 10 meters high. The uphill walk can be challenging, but an optional electric car is available. We explore the prayer halls and terrace of statues, key highlights of Bai Dinh’s grand architecture. For those seeking more adventure, a climb to the mountain summit reveals a giant statue of Buddha Sakyamuni and sweeping views of the surrounding limestone landscape.

HALONG BAY & LIMESTONE KARST CRUISE
Halong Bay is a must-visit in Vietnam. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new seven wonders of nature, the bay is home to thousands of limestone karsts and islands in unique shapes and sizes. The breathtaking landscape is unlike anywhere else and stands as one of Vietnam’s most iconic destinations. Experience it in style aboard a luxurious five star cruise, where comfort, fine dining, and panoramic views come together for an unforgettable journey.
