The 5 Senses Experience Vietnam

​

🌿 Where We're Going

Vietnam | September 2027

​

Hanoi – 3 Days

Our journey begins in the energetic heart of Vietnam. Hanoi is a city of contrasts, where ancient temples,

French colonial buildings, tiny cafés and bustling streets sit side by side.

We'll slow down enough to experience the city rather than simply pass through it:

• Wander the atmospheric Old Quarter
• Discover local markets and the flavours of Vietnamese cuisine
• Experience traditional Vietnamese coffee
• Have the opportunity to indulge in a beautiful Vietnamese facial ritual
• Take in a traditional water puppet performance
• Time to explore, shop and simply soak up the atmosphere

A delicious introduction to Vietnam through taste, scent, sound and colour.

​

Rural Vietnam – 3 Days

Then we leave the bustle behind and journey into the peaceful countryside, where limestone mountains rise dramatically from emerald-green rice fields and rivers wind quietly through the landscape.

Here, life follows a slower rhythm. We’ll explore hidden waterways, wander through rural villages and experience a side of Vietnam where nature and tradition remain beautifully intertwined.

Our experience will include:

• Journey through spectacular countryside and dramatic mountain landscapes
• Take a peaceful boat journey through rivers, caves and towering limestone formations
• Walk among the rice fields and discover the beauty of rural Vietnam
• Visit local villages and experience traditional ways of life
• Enjoy authentic local food and flavours
• Take time to breathe, slow down and connect with the landscape

A place to quieten the mind, open the senses and reconnect with the simple beauty of nature.

​

Halong Bay – 3 Days

From the peaceful countryside, we make our way to the water, where the dramatic limestone landscape of Halong Bay awaits.

For two days and one night, we'll cruise through the quieter waters of Bai Tu Long Bay — surrounded by towering limestone islands rising from the emerald sea.

Together we'll:

• Cruise through the breathtaking karst landscape
• Kayak through hidden corners of the bay
• Enjoy fresh Vietnamese cuisine on board
• Watch the sunset from the water
• Wake to the peaceful beauty of the bay
• Slow down, disconnect and let the sea set the pace

After our cruise, we'll spend another night in Halong, with the opportunity to enjoy a truly unique dining experience — lunch inside the spectacular Dragon Pearl Cave.

Surrounded by ancient limestone formations, we'll enjoy Vietnamese cuisine accompanied by a captivating cultural and light show, creating a memorable experience that brings together food, history, colour and atmosphere.

Three days surrounded by water, stone, light and sky — a chance to breathe deeply and experience one of Vietnam's most magical landscapes.

​

Hoi An – 3 days

We travel south to the enchanting ancient town of Hoi An.

Here, life moves a little slower — from lantern-lit evenings along the ancient streets to long, unhurried moments by the sea.

Together we'll:

• Wander the ancient streets of Hoi An
• Take a Vietnamese cooking class and visit the local market
• Explore the town's famous tailor shops and choose something beautiful to have made
• Take a lantern boat along the Thu Bon River at night
• Spend time at Hoi An’s beautiful beaches, with space to swim, relax and soak up the sunshine
• Discover local cafés, markets and hidden corners
• Enjoy time to relax and experience Hoi An at our own pace

A feast for the senses, where colour, craftsmanship, food, light and the gentle rhythm of the sea come together.

​

Southern Vietnam – 2 days

We finish our journey in the south, where Vietnam feels warmer, livelier and wonderfully full of life. Think vibrant markets, incredible food, hidden local experiences and time to simply wander, taste and take it all in.

Our final evening will be about good food, conversation and celebrating the incredible journey we've shared before we head home.
