(01)The place
A wooden junk to ourselves, limestone towers at dawn, and the best phở of your life.
We skip the cruise-ship lanes and charter a single wooden junk for Lan Hạ Bay, the quieter southern end, where the fishing villages still float and the kayaks are the main traffic.
Before the water, three days in Hanoi’s old quarter, eating our way through it with a chef who grew up above her mother’s phở stall. After, a homestay in the hills of Mai Châu.
(02)Three moments
What you’ll still be talking about.
Kayak at sunrise
Through a limestone arch into a lagoon that only opens at low tide. Coffee on the deck afterwards.
Hanoi, by stool
Eleven dishes from eleven street vendors, all eaten on plastic stools no higher than your knees.
Stilt-house nights
A Thái family homestay in Mai Châu, rice wine, and the frogs taking over after dark.
(03)Getting there
No fixed departure in 2027
We run Vietnam as a private trip, for your people.
Next stop — Peru
Sacred Valley
