6 days - 5 nights
Day 01: Arrival in Hanoi.
You will be picked up in Hanoi with your name tag. Transfer to the booked hotel.
Day 02: Private city tour in Hanoi - with a German-speaking tour guide.
You will be picked up at the airport and taken to a centrally located hotel in the capital of Vietnam. Afterwards we visit the beautiful and interesting capital of Vietnam. The image of Hanoi has changed greatly in the last few years. State-of-the-art hotels, excellent restaurants, extremely tasteful boutiques and fine art galleries determine the cityscape.
We visit the one-post pagoda, the Tran Quoc Pagoda, and the Temple of Literature. In the afternoon we visit Hoan Kiem Lake and the Ngoc Son Temple and stroll through the picturesque old town. The city tour ends with a rickshaw tour in the old town.
In the evening visit the traditional water puppet theater. Overnight stay in Hanoi.
Day 03: Ninh Binh – “the dry Halong Bay”.
Today we drive (110 km south of Hanoi) to Ninh Binh in the “Red River Delta” to the famous “Tam Coc Caves”. This area is called “Dry Halong Bay” (Halong Bay without water). Here many limestone rocks rise out of the rice landscape, only the sea is missing. We reach these scenic rock formations with the 3 caves by rowing boat (approx. 3 hours). Lush greenery grows on both sides. An untouched natural paradise, with a picturesque landscape! We continue to Bich Dong Pagoda (Bich Dong means “Green Pearl Grotto”), which was built on a limestone rock.
The province of Ninh Binh is one of the smallest in Vietnam, has almost 1 million inhabitants and 25 different ethnic groups are at home here.
Then we visit the ancient capital Hoa Lu with the temples of the Dinh and Le dynasties. Our tip: take a hat with you as the rowing boats do not have a roof cover. You can also use this headgear in Ha Long Bay. Overnight in Hanoi.
Day 04: Hanoi - Ha Long Bay. Cruise in a Chinese junk through the gigantic
Island world. Lunch and dinner on board.
In the morning you will be picked up from the hotel and travel to Ha Long Bay with the Junk Company and an English-speaking guide.
Ha Long Bay - a masterpiece of nature! Over 3,000 islands rise from the emerald green, crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Tokin. Grottoes, jagged rocks, wonderful beaches - in the foreground old Chinese junks. An indescribable picture. The highlight of this exquisite tour: a cruise in a Chinese junk through the gigantic island world.
Private cabins with bathroom, restaurant with good food (meals without drinks included), sun deck, swimming in a bay - cave tour - an impressive experience!
