Day 1-2 - Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam adventure tour
Bring a spare shirt to Cu Chi Tunnels because heading underground can be dirty business. Back in the city you’ll have free time to shop at Ben Thanh Market and stop by the War Remnants Museum.
Detailed itinerary
Crawl through a section of the Cu Chi Tunnels
Learn how the brave men and women of Cu Chi built underground hospitals, kitchens and meeting rooms during their struggle
Spend the last afternoon in Vietnam shopping in the city’s main business district, or take a cyclo ride through the busy city streets to Ho Chi Minh’s Chinatown district, Cholon
Day 3-4 - Dalat Vietnam adventure tour
Much like Tipperary, it’s a long way to Dalat. But it’s nothing like Ireland. Have you ever seen a giant chicken statue in the middle of an Irish village? Didn’t think so.
Join a local bus for the day-long drive to Dalat
Mix with locals and other travellers on board the bus
Journey past rubber and teak plantations before ascending the jungle-clad pass to Bao Loc
Continue past tea and coffee plantations, where the people and their houses look very different to those in Ho Chi Minh
Enjoy a full free day to explore some of the more interesting sights in Dalat, including the old railway station, Bao Dai, and the Hang Nga Guesthouse, known as the 'Crazy House'
Perhaps pay a visit to one of Dalat's most notable residents, Buddhist monk/artist, Vien Thuc, and purchase his black ink on paper paintings and calligraphy for approximately US$5 a piece
Why not try lunch is the upstairs 'mezzanine' floor of the fruit and vegetable pavilion in Dalat's central market
Take an optional trip out to 'Lat Village' – a local ethnic hill tribe community located just outside Dalat
Breakfast
Day 5-7 - Nha Trang - Vietnam adventure tour
When you’re lying on the beach and feeling peckish, it might be time to order some fresh lobster. Pick a vendor, find the biggest lobster of the bunch and Bob’s your uncle.
Enjoy plenty of time to worship the sun during two full days in Nha Trang
Head out onto the water for a day to cruise around the islands
Spend stacks of time swimming and snorkelling
Indulge in a lunchtime feast of freshly caught seafood and other delights for non-fish eaters
Board the overnight sleeper train bound for Danang
Breakfast | Lunch
Day 8-9 - Hoi An - Vietnam adventure tour
Cheap is definitely tasty in Hoi An. Now’s your chance to try pho from the Motherland. Slurp away to your heart’s content.
Drive through the busy streets of Danang and pass by the massive former US airbase that was, in 1968, the busiest airport in the world
Take a walking tour of Hoi An
Enjoy free time - there’s such a broad choice of things to see and do, and they can all be experienced without difficulty
Perhaps rent bicycles and set off to explore the surrounding countryside, take a boat trip on the river, relax on the nearby beach, enjoy the cuisine on offer at some of the town’s numerous cheap cafes or have some clothes made up
Why not venture further afield to Vietnam’s world famous ‘China Beach’ and the adjacent Marble Mountains
An optional visit to the Kingdom of Champa, the ancient ruins at My Son, can be completed in half a day
Leave Hoi An and take the day train to Nha Trang
Breakfast
Day 10-11 - Hue - Vietnam adventure tour
After our bike ride in the countryside fill up on banh – Hue’s very own steamed rice cakes with a little fish sauce or a dollop of chilli sauce - your choice.
Mount local ‘shopping’ bikes and cycle down to the riverside
Place the bikes on board a ‘Dragon Boat’, and enjoy a cruise up the Perfume River to visit the Thien Mu pagoda
Choose to either cycle back into town from here, approximately 8km, or staying on the boat to head back down river to the Citadel
Spend a couple of hours exploring Hue’s massive walled citadel and the Forbidden Purple Palace enclosed within
