About this activity

The route from Saigon to Hanoi is the most popular one in Vietnam, which starts from Ho Chi Minh City, then cycle to the central high land of Da Lat, where we will be cycling to overlook the beautiful flower garden and continue through Nhatrang and Cuc Phoung National Park where we can witness varieties of plantations and as well as we can get closely to the locals. And visiting the World Heritage town of Hoi An and Hue, the former capitals of Vietnam dynasty - where you may spend a few days relaxing and enjoying some interesting activities at the quiet and beautiful beach.

Then take a night train to Nam Dinh and cycling to Haiphong, one of the most beautiful regions in Vietnam. And the further great highlight of this Great Adventure is Halong Bay, where you must experience the overnight cruise including various attractive activities such as Tai Chi and Kayaking which you have mentioned. The trip ends in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, which has more Vietnamese characters than Saigon that you may happily spend some last days in!
