Where we travel
A guide to the Vietnam we love
Vietnam rewards travelers who take their time. The country stretches more than a thousand miles from the misty northern mountains to the tropical southern islands, and each region has its own landscape, cuisine and rhythm. Below are the places our private journeys are built around. Any of them can be woven together into one seamless trip.
Halong Bay
A UNESCO seascape of nearly two thousand limestone islands, best explored slowly aboard a small boutique cruise.
Add to my journey
Ninh Binh
Often called Halong on land, a landscape of karst towers, cave temples and emerald rice paddies threaded by quiet rivers.
Add to my journey
Sapa
Terraced mountains and hill-tribe villages in the far north, ideal for gentle trekking and crisp, cloud-wreathed views.
Add to my journey
Hoi An
A lantern-lit former merchant port of ochre walls, riverside cafes and master tailors, and the most romantic town in Vietnam.
Add to my journey
Da Nang
A modern coastal city of long beaches and the famous Golden Bridge, and a relaxed gateway to the central heritage sites.
Add to my journey
Ho Chi Minh City
The vibrant southern metropolis, known as Saigon, where French-era landmarks meet rooftop bars and remarkable cuisine.
Add to my journey
Mekong Delta
A lush web of rivers and orchards south of Saigon, alive with floating markets, sampans and warm river-village hospitality.
Add to my journey
Phu Quoc
Vietnam's island escape, with soft-sand beaches, clear water and refined resorts for the restful close to a journey.
Add to my journeyWhen to travel
Because Vietnam spans several climate zones, there is somewhere wonderful to visit in every month. The north, including Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sapa, is at its best from October to April. The central coast around Hue, Da Nang and Hoi An shines from February to August. The south, from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta and Phu Quoc, stays warm year round, with a green and atmospheric wet season from May to October.
The art of a great Vietnam itinerary is sequencing these regions to match the season and your interests. That is part of what we do when we design your journey: we time your route so you experience each place at its best. Tell us roughly when you would like to travel on our planning page, and we will suggest the ideal regions and pace.
How long do you need?
A focused trip to a single region can be deeply rewarding in five to seven nights, while a north-to-south journey is most comfortable across ten to fourteen. We never rush a route to tick off more places than the days allow; we would rather you savor fewer destinations well. If your time is limited, we will help you choose where to spend it.
