14-Day North-to-South & Ha Giang Loop

“Booking directly with the Hanoi team meant we rode pillion with local Hmong guides in Ha Giang and stayed on a quiet wooden boat in Lan Ha Bay for less than half what overseas agencies quoted.”

Marcus & Elena Vance · United States · 14-Day North-to-South & Ha Giang Loop

Tu Lan Cave Trek & Hai Van Pass (8 Days)
