    The drive to Halong Bay takes 4 hours. Leave Hanoi by 8am to avoid traffic. Spend 2 nights on a luxury junk boat surrounded by limestone karsts.

Bring motion sickness tablets for choppy waters between islands.

    
  • Days 6-8

    Fly to Hoi An but plan extra time at Hanoi airport for potential delays. The Ancient Town looks its best at dusk as lanterns light up the streets.
