About this tour

A 6-day small-group departure through Hanoi, an overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay and the river caves of Ninh Binh, at the driest time of year in the north.

March is the driest, clearest month in northern Vietnam, which matters most on the bay — Ha Long in poor visibility is a very different experience. The route deliberately stays in the north rather than adding internal flights south, so there are no early-morning airport days.

Group size is capped at 20 travellers.

Tour highlights

  • Overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay
  • Hanoi's Old Quarter on foot
  • Ninh Binh river caves by rowboat
  • Train Street and egg coffee

Frequently asked questions

Why an overnight cruise instead of a day trip?

A day trip means roughly four hours of driving for a few hours on the water. Staying overnight means you are on the bay after the day boats leave and for sunrise, which is the part people remember.

How difficult is the Mua Cave climb?

Around 500 stone steps, steep in places, taking most people 20 to 30 minutes. It is optional — the rowboat route through Trang An does not involve any climbing.
