Wake up to the real Vietnam
Rise and shine, draw back the curtains and see ‘Vietnam Revealed’ - leading Asia specialist, Travel Indochina’s 18-day journey, which gives you the chance to really explore the country’s diverse landscapes, people and cuisine.
Each day is filled with a variety of activities and excursions, but mornings are a particular highlight.
As you wake up to sunrise over a sleepy fishing village, far off the beaten path, you’ll know you’ve discovered the real Vietnam. Bookings made before 24th December 2009, for travel by 19th June 2010, will receive £100 off per person!
Unique morning experiences are included throughout this fascinating itinerary, which stretches the length of the country: from waking up on a traditional junk boat in Halong Bay surrounded by the limestone islands of this World Heritage-listed wonder; to joining a family-run fishing adventure in Hoi An; or waking up on the Reunification Express train between Hanoi and Hue.
Considered Vietnam’s greatest natural wonder, Halong Bay boasts over 3,000 islands that rise out of the turquoise waters to provide a spectacular natural backdrop. Aboard a traditional junk boat, you’ll visit some of the impressive islets that make this area so unique and then drift off to sleep before awakening again within the heart of this stunning, scenic seascape - the perfect start to anyone’s day!
The experiences continue onboard one of the world’s most fascinating train journeys, the Reunification Express, travelling between Hanoi and Hue. A completely authentic encounter, on this overnight sleeper train, offers yet another morning to remember, as you open your eyes to a new dawn and prepare to disembark into the beautiful city of Hue, which provides a unique window into Vietnam and its complex past.
Morning is far from broken as you wake to get a taste of life as a local fisherman in Hoi An. On a private boat, cruise through ‘Water Coconut Palm Canal’, try your hand at local fishing techniques and navigate a basket boat through the narrow waterways, all before lunch – a sumptuous seafood spread onboard the boat.
