Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Ho Chi Minh City – Journey Into History

Welcome to vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, the beating heart of southern Vietnam. After settling in, we venture just beyond the city to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels — an underground world steeped in history.

As you drive through rice paddies and quiet rural landscapes, imagine life here during wartime. On arrival, a short film sets the stage before you step into the maze of tunnels once used by guerrilla fighters. Peek into hidden kitchens, hospitals, and shelters carved into the earth. Discover the ingenious traps and clever survival strategies of the Viet Cong.

For the adventurous, there’s even a chance to crawl through a section of the tunnels yourself — and for those curious, an opportunity to fire war relic rifles in a safe environment.
By evening, return to Ho Chi Minh City with a deeper appreciation of its resilience and spirit.

Day 2: The Mystical Mekong Delta – My Tho & Ben Tre

Today, leave behind the skyscrapers and dive into the serene landscapes of the Mekong Delta. A picturesque drive reveals endless rice fields, pineapple farms, and rustic hamlets before reaching My Tho.

Hop aboard a motorboat to glide past Dragon, Phoenix, Turtle, and Unicorn Islands. On Unicorn Island, sample honey wine, rice wine, and fresh tropical fruits while local musicians serenade you with traditional folk songs. Row along coconut-lined canals and witness everyday life unfold along the waterways.

Continue to Ben Tre, famed for its handmade coconut candy. Watch artisans at work, savor a delicious local lunch, and let the slow rhythm of delta life wash over you.
Return to Ho Chi Minh in the late afternoon, and if it’s the weekend, spend your evening wandering through Ben Thanh Market and the buzzing nightlife of Bui Vien Walking Street.

Day 3: Sands of Time – Mui Ne Sunset Adventure

A comfortable sleeper bus carries you from Ho Chi Minh to the coastal town of Mui Ne. Your afternoon begins at the whimsical Fairy Stream, where barefoot walks along ankle-deep waters reveal red-and-white sandstone formations carved by time.

Next, visit a lively fishing village where hundreds of round boats dot the shoreline, painting a picture of local life. Then, thrill at the vast expanse of the White Sand Dunes — a desert-like wonder where you can ride ATVs or Jeeps for extra fun.

As the day softens, arrive at the Red Sand Dunes, where golden light and scarlet sands merge in one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking sunsets. After dinner, return by bus to Ho Chi Minh, carrying the magic of Mui Ne with you.

Day 4: Escape to Paradise – Arrival in Phu Quoc & Grand World

Fly from Ho Chi Minh to Phu Quoc Island, a jewel of the Gulf of Thailand. This afternoon, step into the enchanting world of Grand World Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s answer to Venice. Drift along its canal on a gondola, enjoy whimsical Venetian-inspired performances, and explore attractions like Bamboo House and Beach Square.

Stroll through boutique shops, dine at world-class restaurants, and watch the sun set over this vibrant entertainment complex — a true feast for the senses.

Day 5: Three Islands & A Sky-High Sunset

Today is a symphony of turquoise waters and tropical dreams. Board a boat to explore the southern islands of Phu Quoc. Swim and snorkel at Xuong (Gam Ghi) Island, relax on the powdery sands of May Rut Trong Island, and savor a fresh seafood lunch on deck.

In the afternoon, step ashore at Thom Island, where the thrilling Aquatopia Water Park awaits with over 20 adventurous rides. As evening falls, take a spectacular cable car ride back across the ocean — the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car. Watch the sun dip below the horizon in a blaze of colors.

Day 6: Wonders & Wildlife – VinWonders & Safari

Unleash your inner child at VinWonders, a dazzling theme park brimming with rides, shows, and performances. From dancing fountains to mermaid tales and the grand ONCE show, there’s excitement around every corner.

Then step into the wild at Vinpearl Safari, Vietnam’s first and largest semi-wildlife conservation park. Spot majestic animals roaming free, watch traditional Zulu dances, and if it’s the right evening, join the unique Night Safari for an unforgettable after-dark adventure.

Day 7: Fly to Da Lat – The City of Eternal Spring

Today, journey to the highlands. Fly to Da Lat, Vietnam’s romantic hill station draped in pine forests and cool mountain air. The day is yours to relax and prepare for tomorrow’s early adventure.

Day 8: Cloud Hunting at Dawn

Wake before sunrise and set off to capture Da Lat’s most magical sight — cloud hunting. At the Panorama viewpoint, watch the sun break over rolling seas of mist, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold.

Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese breakfast with hot coffee before continuing to the lush Cau Dat Tea Hills and shimmering Wind Turbine Fields. Wander through a persimmon garden to see the making of Da Lat’s famous dried persimmons, then marvel at the artistic mosaics of Linh Phuoc Pagoda, crowned by a dragon crafted from thousands of glass bottles.

Day 9: Da Lat’s Highlights & Flight to Da Nang

Your morning begins with adventure at the Datanla Waterfall, where you’ll ride the alpine coaster through pine forests before standing before its thundering cascades.

Next, stroll the whimsical Clay Tunnel, where terracotta sculptures tell the story of Da Lat. Step into the surreal world of the Crazy House, an architectural wonder blending fantasy and art.
By afternoon, catch your flight to Da Nang and settle into your hotel for the evening.

Day 13: Caves of Wonders – Paradise & Phong Nha

Embark on a full-day exploration of two of Vietnam’s most awe-inspiring caves. First, ascend into the otherworldly beauty of Paradise Cave, where shimmering stalactites and towering limestone formations stretch as far as the eye can see.

After a local lunch, sail down the Son River to enter the legendary Phong Nha Cave by boat. Drift past stalactites glittering like crystal curtains, listen to stories of ancient rivers, and feel as though you’ve stepped into a living fairytale.

Return to Dong Hoi in the evening, your heart full of nature’s wonders.
